If he has applied, Gambhir would be good coach for India: Ganguly
The Hindu
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly endorses Gautam Gambhir as potential national cricket team coach, emphasizing preference for Indian talent.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on June 1 said Gautam Gambhir would be a "good coach" for the national cricket team if he has applied for the job, and favoured the appointment of a home-grown talent to the high-profile position.
Speaking at the inauguration of the International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly also gave his views on India's chances in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
"I am in favour of an Indian coach. If he has applied, Gambhir will be a good coach," Ganguly said.
World Cup-winning former batter Gambhir recently mentored his former franchise Kolkata Knight Riders to win their third IPL title after a gap of 10 yearrs.
The former left-handed India opener appears to be the front-runner for the position, which will fall vacant after Rahul Dravid steps down at the end of India's T20 World Cup campaign.
In a statement a few days ago, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has also hinted that an Indian coach would be preferred.
"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," Shah had said.
