With the entire first day having already been washed out at the home of cricket, time is running out for either side to force a victory — though England might now be the favorite.
According to the CAC, the former New Zealand coach was the only candidate to match Ravi Shastri in terms of experience and qualifications.
While Kapil's three-member panel reappointed Shastri as the head coach, the Supreme Court-appointed CoA had tasked the MSK Prasad-led selection committee to pick the support staff.
Watling was on 63, and William Somerville on 5, when bad light stopped play 15 minutes before the scheduled close with New Zealand 195-7.
Shastri made it clear that he has unfinished business and this team is headed for greatness with a brilliant leader in Virat Kohli.
The head coach selection was done on the basis on five parameters, out of which, Shastri ticked all the boxes, according to the Cricket Advisory Committee.
Before India took off for the West Indies tour, Kohli had backed Shastri to retain the job, however, the CAC made it clear that the committee had not consulted the Team India captain.
Lara and Sarwan will be part of the pre-series camp, to be held in Antigua ahead of the first Test match against India.
Ravi Shastri has been reappointed for a two-year period, ending with the 2021 T20 World Cup in India. This will be Shastri's fourth stint with the national team.
