The Indian team’s new coaching set-up will be picked up by BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee, comprising World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev, former head coach Anshuman Gaikwad and Shantha Rangaswamy.

Meanwhile, we came up with the list of persons, who were shortlisted by the respective board. For head coach role, they finalised six members, which include the current head coach Ravi Shastri as well. On the other hand, for Batting coach role, they named as many as 13 members that include Sanjay Bangar.

As far as bowling coach is concerned, they named 9 former cricketers while for Fielding coach role, there are three candidates, which include the current coach R Sridhar as well. However, he got the tough opponent in the name of Jonty Rhodes.

Looking at the likely people to take the role, as per the reports, it is learnt that the board is in favour of Ravi Shastri. He had a fair bit of success with the team. For bowling coach, Bharat Arun would likely to continue, as he brought a great difference in the game for fast bowlers.
