The release states that applicants should be available for interview in person or via video conferencing which means that the coach will be appointed before the Sri Lanka series.
What worked for Sourav Ganguly-John Wright may not for Virat Kohli-Anil Kumble. That does neither lessen Kumble’s contribution as a head coach or Kohli’s credibility as a captain.
Acting BCCI president CK Khanna has said a new coach will be named before India start their tour of Sri Lanka in July.
Erapalli Prasanna also questioned Kohli's captaincy abilities.
Both Anil Kumble and Virat Kohli are never shy of expressing their opinions. One undoubtedly was India’s great and one is a great in the making.
Kumble, who was given a one-year tenure, quit from his position as the head coach after the final of the Champions Trophy.
Anil Kumble had posted a long ‘thank you’ message on his Twitter account making it clear about the conflicts that Kohli and he were facing.
While many were shocked, given the success the team achieved during Kumble’s tenure, it is now reported that had Kumble not stepped down from the post, it was Kohli, who was ready to pay the price and give up his captaincy.
Virat Kohli's first choice for India Head Coach's position, Ravi Shastri is not ready to apply in the normal procedure and has demanded assurance of getting the post.
As per sources, it is also said that players had even stopped following rules and regulations which were implemented by Kumble during his term as head coach.
