BCCI secretary Jay Shah has categorically stated that the Indian cricket board did not approach any former Australian cricketer with the offer of becoming the next India head coach. The statement comes a day after former Aussie batter Justin Langer had stated that he had turned down the India coaching position after receiving an advice from LSG skipper KL Rahul.
In a statement about the issue, Shah said, “Neither I nor the BCCI have approached any former Australian cricketer with a coaching offer. The reports circulating in certain media sections are completely incorrect,”
“Finding the right coach for our national team is a meticulous and thorough process. We are focused on identifying individuals who possess a deep understanding of the Indian cricket structure and have risen through the ranks. It’s crucial that our coach has an in-depth knowledge of our domestic cricket framework to truly elevate Team India to the next level.” the BCCI top executive added.
