Split strategy: BCCI reportedly considering different coaches for Tests and ODIs
The hunt for new India coach has been taking ever so long and now there seems to be a new twist to the story. ESPNCricinfo further reports that the BCCI has approached numerous foreign candidates for the coaching role in the last one month but no one is ready to accept the job as they wouldn’t want to leave a lucrative assignment with a T20 league or a franchise and the fact that they are not confident that the BCCI won’t let them get assistants of their choice. India have been without a head coach since Duncan Fletcher’s contract expired after the World Cup and team director Ravi Shastri has been overseeing things in absence of a coach. During the lunch break on day one of the the second Test between Sri Lanka and India, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said that that a decision on India’s head coach will be taken in September in consultation with the Cricket Advisory Committee. We have taken some time to decide and most probably in the month of September, we will finalise the coach,” Thakur told official broadcasters ‘Sony Six’ during a lunchtime interview.
