Ravi Shastri done well as India’s coach, other position open: CAC Member on appointing new staff

Anshuman Gaekwad, a member of Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) on Saturday said that India’s current head coach Ravi Shastri has done quite well while other coaching positions are up on grabs. He alongside Kapil Dev and Shantha Rangaswamy are going to decide India’s next head coach. The trio was recently appointed by Committee of Administrators (CoA) to take this call.

According to Gaekwad, Shastri is likely to be retained,
“Speaking purely from the results perspective, he (Shastri) has done quite well. So, besides Ravi, all other positions (in the coaching and support staff) in my opinion are open depending on who is applying, their credentials and whether they meet the criteria of the BCCI,” Gaekwad told Mid-Day.

The former Indian coach also remarked that the process of picking the head coach is not an easy one,
"It looks easy from outside, but it is not. There are minor things that are very important. Compatibility with the captain and other players is an important aspect.

"Man-management is the most important factor because technically, there is very little that you do at the highest level. And I know how important man-management is from my personal experience as a coach. “

The tenure of the current coaching staff was originally going to expire after the ICC World Cup 2019, however, BCCI expanded it to 45 more days. So, the coaching management will continue their duties during upcoming India’s tour to West Indies.
