I am interested – Sourav Ganguly

Ganguly went on to add that he doesn’t want to think ahead of his time and wishes Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri can achieve more success in the immediate future. Ganguly wants to wait for his time and then throw his hat in the mix to coach the team.

One of India’s most successful captains, Ganguly was the chairman of the previous Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), which picked Shastri as the Head coach last time. Later, the recently-appointed CAC, led by Kapil Dev with Anshuman Gaekwad and Shanta Rangaswamy as other members also picked the same person to lead the team.

“Currently, I’m associated with too many things — IPL, CAB, TV commentary. Let me complete this. But I will definitely put my hat at some stage. Provided I get selected. But definitely, I’m interested. Not now but in the future,” Ganguly had earlier said when the hunt was on to find the new Indian head coach.
