Kapil Dev-Led CAC Wrote ''Mike Hassen'' For ''Mike Hesson'', Gets Trolled

The last few weeks were all about the selection of the coaching staff for the Indian National Cricket Team. Especially, the role of the head coach has been often headliner for obvious reasons. Finally, on Friday, the Board announced that Ravi Shastri is going to be the head coach for a couple of more years. In between, Kapil Dev-led CAC failed to spell the Mike Hesson name properly, which saw them being on the receiving end.

In the press conference in Mumbai post their interview process at the BCCI headquarters, the CAC members announced names of three candidates in order of priority for the job. Shastri’s name emerged on top followed by former New Zealand coach Hesson and Tom Moody.

Ravi Shastri and Mike Hesson are top two preferred choices:

During the course, the letter, which was on the display, saw the CAC wrong mention of Mike Hesson’s name, which did not go down well with the netizens who took to Twitter to vent out their frustration.

One of the fans wrote, ”They could not even write Mike Hesson”s spelling in the form properly! Were they really that interested in other candidates or it was just a sham to fool public and decision was already made. Very bad decision Kapil and team”

Well, Shastri has been in charge of the Indian team since 2017. This will be his fourth stint with Team India after a couple of associations in the past as the Team director. He had a brilliant success for the team in bilateral series but when it comes to ICC events, he hasn’t got much to showcase.

Shastri’s next assignment will be the home series against South Africa, who will play three T20 internationals and three tests starting next month. Currently, he is with the Indian National Cricket Team in West Indies, which was a 45-days extension deal.

Here are a few tweets:

So true. Their evaluation sheet was a bigger disgrace. Also got Mike Hesson’s spelling wrong. Terrible

Incorrectly spelling Mike "HESSON" on this bizarre letter shows just how farcical this entire process was.

Any bets as to what Shastri said in his presentation to seal the deal? https://t.co/pLa57Y7vpT
