As per report, T Dilip Retained, Two Huge Additions In Gautam Gambhir’s Team India Staff
According to a report, Board of Control for Cricket in India is all set to appoint Abhishek Nayar and Ryan Ten Doeschate as assistant coaches of the Indian cricket team. While no official statement has been issued by the team management, the report further claims that both Nayar and Ten Doeschate will join new head coach Gautam Gambhir for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka.
Nayar was the assistant coach for Kolkata Knight Riders while the former Dutch international also served as KKR’s fielding coach when Gambhir served as a mentor. T Dilip, who served as fielding coach under Rahul Dravid, is reportedly going to be retained in the new support staff as well.
However, questions remain over the appointment of the bowling coach but former South Africa cricket team fast bowler Morne Morkel is being considered a strong candidate for the position.
The report stated that Dilip and Nayar will travel with the team to Sri Lanka but it remains unclear when Ten Doeschate will join the side. He is currently working as part of the coaching staff for the LA Knight Riders in the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC).
