New Delhi, Aug 14: Former India Test players and Delhi stalwarts Maninder Singh, Manoj Prabhakar and Ajay Sharma have all thrown their hat into the ring for the position of head coach of the Ranji team for the upcoming season.
It is understood that last season’s coach Abhay Sharma is unlikely to be retained but he has also decided to reapply. Apart from Abhay, former India all-rounder Prabhakar had been the head coach as well as bowling coach of the Delhi team.
Ajay Ratra, who recently coached North Zone in Duleep and Deodhar Trophy has also applied.
So has Gursharan Singh, who was a part of the Cricket Advisory Committee last year. Gursharan, a Ranji Trophy-winning former Delhi and Punjab batter, who has also played a Test match, has been in and around the Delhi cricket ecosystem for quite some time and is known to apply for most of the cricketing positions. Former Baroda skipper Jacob Martin and Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Rajesh Chauhan have also applied. (PTI)
