New Delhi. The Indian cricket team has got a new head coach. Rahul Dravid's tenure as the head coach of the Indian team ended with the ICC T20 World Cup final. Now Gautam Gambhir will take over the responsibility of coaching the team. But the question still remains as to who will be the assistant coach, who will be the bowling coach and who will be the fielding coach. Gautam Gambhir has said that he wants to make Morne Morkel the new bowling coach of Team India.
According to a report, it is being said that Gambhir has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to consider Morkel's name for the post of bowling coach. Morkel has played 86 Tests, 117 ODIs and 44 T20 matches between 2006 and 2018. However, it is very unlikely that BCCI will appoint Morkel as the bowling coach of Team India. Because BCCI has already said that it will not bring any foreign player in the team.
Let us tell you that both Gambhir and Morkel have had a good relationship in Lucknow Super Giants. Where, Gambhir worked as a mentor for two years. After Gambhir joined Kolkata Knight Riders and head coach Andy Flower moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore, Morkel remained as the bowling coach of the franchise along with new head coach Justin Langer.
The names of Zaheer Khan and Vinay Kumar are being discussed
Team India's new bowling coach can be either Zaheer Khan or Vinay Kumar. Vinay Kumar has represented India at the international level. He has led his domestic team Karnataka to victory in the Ranji Trophy in 2013 and 2014. Zaheer Khan can also be chosen for the bowling coach. His name is also in the lead. However, the BCCI has not yet officially confirmed it.
