MUMBAI: BCCI office bearers, headed by president Sharad Pawar, will meet on Tuesday in Delhi with the long-pending matter of appointment of a coach for the Indian team topping their agenda. The naming of a coach has been kept pending since the decision of previous incumbent Greg Chappell not to seek a renewal of his contract following the national teams dismal show in the World Cup.
The BCCIs quest in finding a new coach since then has not borne fruit and twice, in the last couple of months, a meeting of the special coach selection committee had been put off for different reasons.
Currently, Lalchand Rajput is in charge of the teams affairs as its cricket manager on a series to series basis after having taking over the job from another former Test cricketer Chandu Borde at the end of Indias trip to England. Rajputs tenure, however, has been finalised only till the end of the current five-match ODI series against Pakistan on November 18.
The two teams are to take part in a three-Test series at the end of the ODI rubber from November 22-December 12. After a short break of three-four days, India are set to depart for a full tour of Australia with their first tour match Down Under, against Victoria, scheduled on December 20.
