NEW DELHI. — India have been without a head coach since Duncan Fletcher left in March, and with two low-profile tours in the offing and the appointment of a new advisory panel just this week, the country’s cricket board appears in no rush to name a successor.
Former captain Ravi Shastri will continue in his role as the team director when they embark on a tour of Bangladesh next week, and they are also unlikely to have a head coach when they travel to Zimbabwe in July.
Fletcher’s term came to an end after India’s semi-final defeat at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. While the BCCI are taking their time to find the right candidate, they will hope to have a new head coach in place before hosting South Africa in October. — AFP.
