The BCCI announced a coaching change for the Indian cricket team. Jay Shah, the board’s secretary, confirmed a new head coach will lead the team in the upcoming Sri Lanka series, replacing Rahul Dravid. However, he remained tight-lipped about the chosen successor.
Former opener Gautam Gambhir is anticipated to succeed Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. The Cricket Advisory Committee conducted interviews for this important position and has shortlisted Gambhir along with former India women’s coach WV Raman.
Jay Shah, celebrating India’s T20 World Cup victory in the Caribbean, announced the imminent appointment of a new selector alongside the upcoming selection of a new head coach.
“Both coach and selector appointment will be made shortly. CAC has interviewed and shortlisted two names and after reaching Mumbai whatever they have decided we will go by that. VVS Laxman is going to Zimbabwe but new coach will join from Sri Lanka series,” Shah told select media, referring to the Zimbabwe tour beginning July 6.
Sri Lanka are ready to host India for a six-match series starting on July 27th, featuring three ODIs and three T20Is.
