Kapil Dev Led Ad-Hoc Panel To Take A Call On India’s Next Coach 


Former India skipper Kapil Dev will head a three-member ad-hoc panel to select the new Head Coach as well as the new five-member national selection committee. Committee of Administrators (CAC) has approached to three former cricketers — Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy to decide on the future.


Kapil to decide India’s next coach

The ad-hoc committee will replace the three-member Cricket Advisory Committee and will undertake specific tasks. In two separate meetings held in the last couple of months, the CoA approved the decision to appoint the ad-hoc panel. BCCI General Manager (Cricket Operations) Saba Karim had approached Kapil, Gaekwad and Rangaswamy with the request and all three have agreed to be on the panel to select the next head coach.

According to the new BCCI constitution, the CAC or the ad-hoc panel can only pick the Head Coach. On the other hand, BCCI CEO Rahul Johri can only select the rest of the support staffs which includes batting coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, trainer, physio and the administrative manager. But, likely, the ad-hoc panel headed by Kapil Dev will also make recommendations for the support staffs.
Interestingly, the tenure of the selection panel headed by MSK Prasad has also come to an end. CoA has also tasked the ad-hoc group to pick the new national selection committee. The current men’s national selection committee features former cricketers Sarandeep Singh, Devang Gandhi, Jatin Paranjpe, Gagan Khoda and chairman Prasad.

The current crop of selectors will do their job for the last time when they pick the squad for the tour of West Indies on July 19.

Four Players Who Can Replace MS Dhoni Post Retirement  We have oodles of talent in India but there will never be another MS Dhoni, not ever in the history of Indian cricket. The calmness with which he took the field will never be seen again. The aura and stature of MS Dhoni are all but impossible to match. He is one of the shrewdest cricketing brains to have ever embraced this beautiful game. Meanwhile, there is speculation that MS Dhoni might retire any time soon. In fact, there is no doubt that it is going to leave a big void in the Indian team. However, the promise of Indian cricket looks promising as the young guns are coming through to the top level. We take a look at four players who can replace MS Dhoni post his retirement. 1. Ishan Kishan The talented southpaw had led India Under-19 side to the final of the World Cup in 2016. However, the team could not cross the last hurdle against West Indies Under-19 team. The left-hander has shown the promise to de...

MS Dhoni’s Parents Don’t Want Him To Play Anymore, Says His Childhood Coach  Speculations are rife over the future of MS Dhoni. Reports are doing the round that MS Dhoni’s retirement is very much on the cards and the former India skipper can wave goodbye to international cricket anytime soon. MS Dhoni has been under pressure to quit for quite some time now and the pressure has only increased after the World Cup. While the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has not been low on runs but it is his strike-rate that is causing all the problems for him. Regarded as one of the greatest finishers of all time, MS Dhoni has looked like a pale shadow of his usual self. The World Cup-winning skipper has not really managed to bat like he used to do. In the World Cup, he struggled against the likes of Afghanistan and England. Those two knocks had made many question the intent of MS Dhoni. In the semifinal against New Zealand, he did score a fighting 50 but once again used up too many...

Rift In Team India: All Is Not Well Between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma Despite topping the points table and dominating in the whole world cup, the Indian team was knocked out after defeat against New Zealand in the semi-final. Virat Kohli led team India underperformed in the big match. Now there are reports that there is a rift in team India. Rift In Team India Dainik Jagran has claimed that everything is not well in the Indian team. Captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri have taken some of the biased decision which has left the team divided. Team India has divided into two groups, one group is with Virat Kohli’s side while the other supports Rohit Sharma. According to the reports, there is a strong bias in player selection. Players who are in Virat Kohli’s side are selectors’ favourites. One of the examples is Vijay Shankar getting the place in world cup squad ahead of Ambati Rayudu. There is a report that KL Rahul is highly backed by team management as he gets ...
