RE: 'Anil Kumble' finalised as Team Indian's Head Coach...
Anil Kumble appointed head coach of India
Legendary spinner Anil Kumble has been appointed the new head coach of the Indian cricket team for a period of 12 months, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Thursday (June 23) at the board's inaugural cricket conclave in Dharamsala. The 45-year-old former leg spinner fended off competition from 56 other applicants, including Ravi Shastri, India's former team director, for the top post.
After Duncan Fletcher's contract had expired following the ICC World Cup in 2015, the post of head coach was left vacant with Shastri being appointed team director for subsequent tours. Kumble takes over as full-time coach of the side from Shastri, whose contract expired after the World Twenty20.
Kumble's name for the role was put forth by the three-member advisory committee comprising of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, headed by Sanjay Jagdale, the former BCCI secretary, who interviewed the shortlisted applicants about their goals and ambition for the future of Indian cricket. Kumble's presentation on taking Indian cricket forward is said to have been the clincher in his appointment.
"He has been a match winner of India. His records speak for himself," Anurag Thakur said during the announcement.
Despite not meeting two important criteria set for the aspirants - not having any previous coaching experience at first-class or international level and not being a certified coach - Kumble brings with him a wealth of international experience, having featured in 132 Tests and 271 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) during an illustrious career than spanned 18 years. He has also served as a mentor for Indian Premier League franchises Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians.
Kumble's first assignment will be India's four-Test tour of West Indies, starting July 21.
