Ever since Duncan Fletcher tenure has neared its end, there have been talks of many people for new Indian Coach. From Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly to Justin Langer as well. Hindustan Times reported that Ganguly could be the new Team India Director. According to reports, it is also being said due to the closeness of Ravi Shastri to N Srinivasan, the new Board of Control for Cricket in India president, Jagmohan Dalmiya is not keen on Shastri as the Team Director. Justin Langer could be India’s next coach: Reports
The [BCCI] president believes Shastri has been pro-Srinivasan. He does not see Shastri as a long-term member of the team. He is very keen on having Sourav Ganguly as a part of the national set-up,” the BCCI source told HT. With Sourav Ganguly having good knowledge and keen on overseas success, the good results work in his favour. “Ganguly knows how to win abroad. He is India’s most successful captain away from home. Shastri has not got us the results we wanted, so we could ask Ganguly to step in,” the source added. Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly set to hold advisory roles with Team India
India next tour Bangladesh for a one-off Test, followed by a three-match ODI series. It is likely that the changes are reflected very soon. “It is unlikely Shastri will go to Bangladesh, so he could go back to his media commitments,” the un-named BCCI source added. Earlier, it was being reported that Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sourav Ganguly are reportedly set to return to Team India, albiet in roles of advisors. As per reports, Ganguly would perform the role of High Performance Manager, a role similar to one seen in Cricket Australia. Dravid could be Talent Development Manager, while Tendulkar could be asked to work at the National Cricket Academy. How much of this is true will be out soon.
