BCCI invites fresh application for support staff for Team India including that of Head Coach

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called upon interested candidates to apply for the various positions for the senior India Men’s team. 

The interested candidates are expected to apply on or before 5 pm on July 30.

• Head Coach
• Batting Coach
• Bowling Coach
• Fielding Coach
• Physiotherapist
• Strength and Conditioning Coach
• Administrative Manager

For the likes of Ravi Shastri, Sanjay Bangar and Bharat Arun - they will get an automatic entry in the recruitment process. The team will, however, have a new trainer and physio after the departure of Shankar Basu and Patrick Farhart respectively following India's semifinal exit in the World Cup.

The head coach should have coached a Test-playing nation for a minimum of two years or three years with an associate member/A team/IPL side. The applicant also should have played 30 Tests or 50 ODIs.

The criteria remain the same for batting, bowling and fielding coach except for the number of games played. The three personnel should have played at least 10 Tests or 25 ODIs and be less than 60 years of age.

Shastri had come in as Anil Kumble's successor after the 2017 Champions Trophy, as did bowling coach Bharat Arun. Batting coach Sanjay Bangar has been in his post for longer.
