There is a talk that the BCCI is yet to give a nod on the salary of the new Cricket Coah Gautam Gambhir.
It looks like Gambhir did not contest the parliament election as he could have got a hint of this prestigious post which is part of his profession.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah has already confirmed that the new coach will be put in charge from the Sri Lanka series onwards. The official announcement is due to the ongoing salary negotiation between Gambhir and the board.
After Gambhir’s appointment becomes official, the board needs to start working on the process of hiring other coaches too.
It has also been reported, that the board plans to give Gambhir a complete free hand as far as the selection support staff is concerned. A batting coach might not even be hired as Gambhir himself was a top-level opening batter during his playing days.
CAC has interviewed and shortlisted two names and after reaching Mumbai whatever they have decided we will go by that.
VVS Laxman is going to Zimbabwe but new coach will join from Sri Lanka series.”
