The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), led by former captain Kapil Dev, has begun the process to choose next coach for India’s men cricket team. Former all-rounder Robin Singh appeared first for the interview, before the three-member panel, which also comprises Anshuman Gaikwad and Shantha Rangaswamy. The CAC will announce the selected candidate later this evening.
Six names — incumbent Ravi Shastri, Singh, Lalchand Rajput, Mike Hesson, Tom Moody, Phil Simmons — have been shortlisted for the high-profile position. Singh was followed by Rajput, who was the team’s manager when it won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. The CAC members, on arrival, side-stepped questions on whether Shastri is a clear favourite to retain the job.
