Paras Mhambrey applies for Team India's bowling coach job

Mhambrey is considered a long-time trusted lieutenant of Rahul Dravid, widely tipped to be the next head coach

Former India pacer Paras Mhambrey, one of the brains behind India's highly-successful A and U-19 team programmes, has applied for the position of the senior squad's bowling coach on October 25, BCCI sources have revealed.

Mhambrey, who has been employed with the National Cricket Academy for nearly a decade, is considered a long-time trusted lieutenant of Rahul Dravid, . He has also travelled with the U-19 and India A teams as head coach on various tours.

But more importantly, the coaching module prepared by the National Cricket Academy to ensure smooth transition from U-19 to A teams and then subsequently to the main squad, has been the handiwork of Dravid and Mhambrey.
