BCCI in no hurry to appoint new coach

“We are still in the process of doing so (finding a new coach). There’s no hurry as the team is leaving for the West Indies only on June 1,” BCCI President Shashank Manohar told PTI.

A lot of names, including England’s director of coaching Andy Flower and another Zimbabwean Duncan Fletcher, are doing the rounds as the candidates likely to get the job.

“The reports of various sub-committees would be tabled at the meeting,” the BCCI chief said about the agenda for the April 27 meet.

Manohar confirmed that an understanding has been reached by the BCCI with its Sri Lanka counterpart, which allows the players from the island nation to stay on and represent their franchises in the ongoing Indian Premier League till May 18. “They will be here till the 18th and then directly go to England from Mumbai,” said Manohar.
