The T20 series between India and Sri Lanka is going to start from 27th. Before the start of this series, a veteran foreign player has entered the camp of Team India. This player is fully prepared to contribute to the victory of Team India. The player selected by the new head coach of the team, Gautam Gambhir, will be with Team India throughout the Sri Lanka tour.
Who is this player?
The player included in Team India is former Netherlands star cricketer Ryan Ten Doeschate. Ryan Ten Doeschate has joined Team India as an assistant coach. Gautam Gambhir had demanded 2 assistant coaches for himself from BCCI, on which BCCI has given him 2 assistant coaches.
Apart from Ryan ten Doeschate, Abhishek Nair is Gautam Gambhir's assistant coach. Ryan has joined Team India's camp in Sri Lanka. At the same time, Abhishek Nair left for Sri Lanka with Team India. Both Ryan Doeschate and Abhishek Nair worked with Gautam Gambhir for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL-2024 and both are considered Gautam Gambhir's favorites.
Team India will get an assistant coach for the first time
Till now, Team India has appointed batting, bowling and fielding coaches apart from the head coach, but this is the first time that two assistant coaches have been appointed along with the head coach. Gautam Gambhir himself had demanded these two assistant coaches. He suggested the names of Abhishek Nair and Ryan Ten Doeschate as assistant coaches, which has been accepted by the BCCI.
Now it remains to be seen what kind of responsibility Gautam Gambhir gives to these two assistant coaches. It is being said in media reports that Ryan Douchet can play the role of assistant coach in ODI cricket and Abhishek Nair can play the role of assistant coach in Test cricket.
His selection is still pending
Ryan Douchet and Abhishek Nair have joined the team as assistant coaches, while Gautam Gambhir has taken on the role of head coach. While addressing a press conference before leaving for the Sri Lanka tour, Gautam Gambhir said that a decision will be taken about the other coaching staff of the team after the Sri Lanka tour. Now cricket fans are waiting to know who will be the next bowling and fielding coach of Team India.
According to media reports, Gautam Gambhir has recommended the name of former South African bowler Morne Morkel for bowling coach and Jonty Rhodes for fielding coach to BCCI, but BCCI is in favor of giving responsibility to an Indian for these posts. It is being said in the reports that BCCI is discussing the name of T Dilip for fielding coach and Zaheer Khan for bowling coach.
