adminBENGALURU. — Former spinner Anil Kumble has no concerns over the length of his contract as India’s new cricket head coach, believing he has enough time and matches to make an impact.
Kumble, whose only coaching experience has been as mentor of the Mumbai and Bangalore teams in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament, was given a one-year term last week.
For the post, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) received 57 applications which were made available to an advisory panel that included former captains Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly and former batsman VVS Laxman.
The BCCI said Kumble was handed a one-year contract so they could review their options for one of world cricket’s most challenging jobs at the end of that period. — Reuters.
