Ravi Shastri To Be New Team India Coach, Zaheer Khan To Guide The Bowling Department
Acting President of BCCI CK Khanna has reportedly confirmed the news
It is probably time to put the speculation to rest. Because acting President of BCCI, CK Khanna, has reported that Ravi Shastri will be the new Team India coach. The other contenders for the position were Virender Sehwag, Tom Moody, Venkatesh Prasad and Dodda Ganesh. But Shastri made the cut because his presentation had impressed the Cricket Advisory Committee. It is also reported that former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan would be the bowling coach for the men in blue.
According to a senior BCCI official, ¡°The CAC was indeed impressed by Ravi Shastri's presentation and it was then decided that Kohli should be brought into the scene and the skipper should make the call because at the end of the day, it is the captain who will have to spend time with the coach and the equation cannot be compromised.¡±
Before Anil Kumble took charge of the Indian team in June 2016, it was Ravi Shastri as Team India's director. Zaheer Khan has been part of India's World Cup winning squad and has been India's prime bowler for over a decade.
