The Indian team is likely to have an interim coach for the upcoming series against New Zealand after the T20 World Cup. Former India skipper Rahul is likely to take up the role for that series as he is the front runnerup to fill the gap.
Ravi Shastri’s tenure as India head coach will get over post T20 World Cup in the UAE and Oman.
According to IANS, the BCCI wants to appoint an experience former India player as the chief coach even though many foreigners, including some Australians, have shown interest in taking up the job. It had earlier wanted Anil Kumble, who was forced to quit over differences with skipper Virat Kohli, to take over the role but the legendary cricketer had recused himself. He is currently the head coach of the IPL franchise Punjab Kings.
