Gautam Gambhir frontrunner for head coach position, other options too open for BCCI

With the deadline for the application for the new head coach of the senior India men’s team, it has been reported that the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is keeping their options open. The job of finding a new head coach seems to be more challenging than once thought.

According to the sources, Gautam Gambhir, Stephen Fleming, Justin Langer, and Mahela Jayawardene have the BCCI interested as probable head coaches. Interestingly, every name stated above has lucrative jobs within IPL franchises, and the task of travelling with the Indian team for 10 months a year until the next ODI World Cup in 2027 is a big issue.

“There has been no formal communication with the potential candidates. All these coaches are biding their time and weighing options. But it seems Gambhir’s stocks have risen. It is likely that the board officials will speak with Gambhir in Ahmedabad where he is with KKR for the IPL playoffs,” a source in the know told The Times of India.
