BCCI starts hunt for new coach, Anil Kumble's fate in Ganguly, Tendulkar's hands

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has started hunt for a new coach for the Indian cricket team. Anil Kumble, who had a successful year-long stint with Virat Kohli's team will finish at the end of the ICC Champions Trophy in UK in June.

The BCCI has invited applications from candidates for the head coach's position. Kumble will be a direct



entry.

Interestingly, Kumble has not got an automatic extension. Most successful coaches around the world get extensions after good stints with the national team.

Anil Kumble had a terrific time with the Indian cricket team. In 17 Tests, Anil Kumble saw India winning a dozen drawing four and losing just one against Australia. India even retained their No. 1 Test ranking.
