The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ask again the former India captain Anil Kumble to apply for the post of the Indian team’s head coach.
According to the reports, the BCCI may ask Anil Kumble once incumbent Ravi Shastri finishes his term after the T20 World Cup. Kumble served as the coach of Team India for a year between 2016-17after the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly had appointed him, replacing Shastri.
However, a fall-out with captain Virat Kohli led to Kumble’s exit after India’s Champions Trophy defeat against Pakistan in the final. Kohli has already announced that he will step down as India’s T20 captain following the World Cup.
Further the second option for the BCCI is to appoint a foreign coach.
