No auto extension for Kumble as BCCI invites applications

NEW DELHI: The BCCI today invited applications for head coach’s post, sending a reminder to head coach Anil Kumble that he will not get an automatic extension after his current term expires at the end of Champions Trophy.

Interested candidates can apply by May 31st and will be interviewed by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.

“To ensure a fair and completely transparent process, a nominee of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) will oversee the entire process along with the Cricket Advisory Committee,” the BCCI release stated.

BCCI joint secretary Amitabh Chaudhary said that board is happy with Kumble’s performance but they are trying to follow a due procedure. (AGENCIES)
