Sourav next India coach?
Sourav Ganguly, the man under whose captaincy Indian cricket learned how to give it back as hard as you get, could soon be once again seeing calling the shots for Team India -- this time as coach.
According to a report in the Indian Express, a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) insider has revealed that the former India captain has put in an informal word to the new board president Jagmohan Dalmiya about his interest to replace Duncan Fletcher, whose tenure as India coach ended after the World Cup.
"Sourav's achievements as a cricketer and his tactical acumen present a strong case. But he has to apply for the job," the source told the newspaper. "They [Ganguly and Dalmiya] had a discussion but Dalmiya didn't give him any assurance," he said.
Candidates interested in the job need to apply, after which they will make a presentation and be interviewed by board officials and former India captains. Dalmiya, however, isn't revealing his cards yet. "Wait for 10-odd days and you will get know," he told the Indian Express.
