India’s bowling coach Bharat Arun likely to continue, batting coach Sanjay Bangar to leave: Report
As the tenure of current coaching staff expires after India's tour to West Indies, there might be some changes in the department. Read to know more
Team India’s bowling coach Bharat Arun is likely to get expansion while batting coach Sanjay Bangar might be axed as the contract of current coaching staff expires after India’s tour of West Indies concludes.
"In the last 18 to 20 months, the work put in by Arun has been phenomenal. The current Indian attack is considered to be the best in the longest format. Mohammed Shami back at his best and (Jasprit) Bumrah's consistency are a few things Arun must get credit for. It's up to the selectors but they might find it difficult to replace him," a senior BCCI official told PTI on Friday.
"Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been performing much before Bangar came into the fray. He has no role in their success. However, his job was to create a few solid options in the middle order and we have seen in the World Cup that he has failed miserably in that," the official added.
Fielding coach, RS Sridhar is also in the scheme of things despite South Africa’s legendary fielder Jonty Rhodes having applied for the job. Indian fielding has been on top, so Sridhar surely gets the upper hand,
"Rhodes is a big name and his candidature can't be ignored. However, this also needs to be taken into account that how the team's fielding performance has been," the official said.
