Ravi Shastri to continue as India head coach

Ravi Shastri has been reappointed as the head coach of the senior men's Indian team and will remain in charge until the T20 World Cup of 2021 to be played in India. The confirmation came on Friday (August 16) evening following the completion of the selection process by the Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC).

"Being a current coach, knowing the boys well, knowing the problems well, what has to be done. He was well versed with the system. Somebody knows the system and somebody who knows the players well has an advantage," said Anshuman Gaekwad, one of the members of the CAC.

Shastri, 57, was one of six applicants shortlisted for the job, although as incumbent coach, his candidature to the recruitment process was given an automatic entry. Other applicants shortlisted for the interview included Lalchand Rajput (India team manager at WT20 2007), Robin Singh (former India fielding coach), Tom Moody (Sri Lanka coach at WC 2007), Mike Hesson (New Zealand coach at WC 2015) and Phil Simmons (West Indies coach at WT20 2016).

The CAC also revealed that Mike Hesson and Tom Moody finished second and third in the standings on the basis of their impressive presentations. Each of the interviewed candidates were marked out of 100 on parameters including: Coaching Philosophy, Experience of Coaching, Achievements in Coaching, Communication, Knowledge of Modern Coaching Tools.

The interviews were conducted on the morning of August 16 by CAC members, Dev, Shantha Rangaswamy and Anshuman Gaekwad. While Rajput, Hesson and Robin Singh were present in Mumbai for the interview, Moody and Shastri made their presentations remotely through video conferencing. Simmons, who recently coached Afghanistan at the 2019 World Cup, excused himself from the running citing personal reasons.

Shastri's reappointment was widely expected given his working relationship with India captain Virat Kohli. The latter even publicly voiced his support for Shastri at the pre-departure press conference ahead of the tour of West Indies.

"With Ravi bhai, all of us have a great camaraderie, everyone in the team shares mutual respect [with him]. And we have done really well together as a group," Kohli had said at the time.

"Yeah, we will definitely be very happy if he is continuing as a coach, but as I said it is upon the CAC to seek my advice or opinion if they want. Right now, I haven't been contacted at all. And I don't know what is going to happen with the process."

Dev, however, insisted that Kohli's opinion didn't weigh largely on his reappointment to the post. "Definitely not. If we had to do that we would have had to consult everyone else as well. We don't have the provision to do that," he said.

Shastri, who had a previous stint as team director between 2014-16, lost out to Anil Kumble in 2016 and then later succeeded him in July 2017 after the infamous Kumble-Kohli fallout.

In his just-concluded tenure, Shastri presided over 11 Test wins (played 21, lost seven) including a historic series win in Australia. India held on to their No.1 ranking on the Test charts but suffered reverses on the tours of South Africa and England. In this period, India also won 44 of their 61 ODIs and made the semifinal of the 2019 World Cup. They also won 25 out of the 36 T20Is during this reign.

"What Shastri told us was what he had done in the last two years and where we need to improve. He also told us what help he needs," Dev said.

Shastri, who was offered a 45-day extension in light of the West Indies tour coming quick on the heels of the World Cup campaign, will start his new tenure with the home series against South Africa.

Darren Gough, Steffan Jones among others shortlisted for India bowling coach job

The interviews for the bowling coach role will take place at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on August 19.

 

Amid a lot of speculation, the BCCI selection committee has shortlisted former England pacer Darren Gough and UK-based tactical fast bowling coach Steffan Jones, along with five other Indian candidates, for the bowling coach role of the senior national cricket team.

Apart from the incumbent bowling coach Bharat Arun, the full list includes former India internationals Subroto Banerjee, Amit Bhandari, Paras Mhambrey, Venkatesh Prasad and Sunil Joshi.

The interviews for the bowling coach role will take place at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on August 19. Outstation candidates will be able to present their case via Skype. The time limit for the presentation is 20 minutes or more.

The two low-profile names Subroto Banerjee and Paras Mhambrey have a very good chance to get the nod. While Banerjee is a known face in the National Cricket Academy circle, Mhambrey has been travelling with the India U-19 and ‘A’ team for a while.

Moreover, Sunil Joshi has the experience of coaching Bangladesh while Venkatesh Prasad has served as a bowling coach in the past.

With the experience of 58 Tests and 159 ODIs under his belt, Gough is a high-profile name in the list and after England's World Cup triumph, Jones’ stakes will also be high as he trained Jofra Archer among many other fast bowlers.
