‘Neither I nor BCCI approached any Australian player with India head coach offer’: Jay Shah quashes Ponting's claim
Hindustan TimesBCCI secretary Jay Shah denied approaching "any former Australian cricketer" for the Indian cricket team's head coach role a day after Ricky Ponting claimed that he had "a few one-to-one" discussions with the board officials regarding the same during IPL 2024. The BCCI secretary added that India's next head coach, who would take over the mantle from former India captain Rahul Dravid after the T20 World Cup, should have in-depth knowledge of India's domestic structure. Ponting, however, is not the only former Australian cricketer whose name has been doing the rounds ever since BCCI invited applications for Inda head coach. BCCI will pick head coach who can take Indian cricket forward Jay Shah says the head's role demands high level of professionalism and a vision to take Indian cricket forward.
