New head coach to be appointed soon

Ahead of the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka commencing on July 27, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has confirmed the appointment of a new head coach for Team India. While the identity of the new coach remains undisclosed, it is widely speculated that Gautam Gambhir will take over from Rahul Dravid. Following interviews conducted by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), Gambhir and WV Raman emerged as the top contenders for the position.

The final decision regarding the new coach will be overseen by the CAC, with VVS Laxman set to lead the team to Zimbabwe while the new coach takes charge during the Sri Lanka series. The upcoming tour will feature a three-match T20I series starting on July 27 followed by a three-match ODI series beginning on August 2.

This assignment will mark the beginning of a new chapter for Indian cricket under the leadership of the new head coach, who will be tasked with guiding the team to success in both formats. The appointment of a fresh coaching staff symbolises a new era for Indian cricket, generating anticipation among fans eagerly awaiting the official announcement and the commencement of the Sri Lanka series.
