The hunt for Team India’s head coach has begun with applicants like Anil Kumble, Lalchand Rajput, Ravi Shastri, Sandeep Patil, Pravin Amre and Venkatesh Prasad likely to be interviewed today.
The responsibility of picking the name for the high-profile job has been given to the BCCI-appointed Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) that includes Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and Sanjay Jagdale.
A total of 21 names shortlisted out of 57 applicants by the cricket board will now appear for interviews and will submit their presentations.
Former star cricketers Ravi Shastri, Anil Kumble and Sandeep Patil are supposed to be the three front-runners in the race.
Once the interviews have been conducted, the CAC is likely to submit the report by June 22, after which the board will announce the name of the new head coach of national team at the working committee meeting on June 24.
