New Delhi: BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has confirmed that the BCCI has not approached any Australian cricketer for the role of head coach of the Indian team. Let us tell you that after the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid's tenure as head coach will also end.
In such a situation, the Indian Board has sought applications for the new head coach of the Indian team. Also, some reports claimed that the BCCI had contacted former Australian captain Ricky Ponting and former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir, but BCCI secretary Jay Shah termed this report as false.
Jay Shah said former Australian players were not contacted
In fact, Jay Shah had recently said that no Australian player was contacted to become the coach of Team India. Shah clearly said that all such news spread in the media are completely false. He clarified that finding the head coach of Team India is a detailed and accurate process.
Jai Shah further said that neither I nor the BCCI have offered any former Australian cricketer to become the head coach of the Indian team. All the news spread in the media section is false. When we talk about international cricket, there is no more prestigious role than the head coach of the Indian cricket team.
He said that Team India has a world-class fan base, which enjoys unparalleled support. We are delighted. Our rich history and passion for the game makes it one of the most attractive jobs in the world. This role demands a high level of professionalism. Fulfilling the wishes of a billion fans is a great honour and the BCCI will select the right candidate who is capable of taking Indian cricket forward.
Let us tell you that recently Justin Langer and Ricky Ponting revealed that they have received an offer from BCCI to take over the post of head coach. However, both of them refused to accept this offer. Now the BCCI secretary has called the claims of former Australian players false.
