The three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy, has asked the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to include the CAC in the process of appointment of the Indian team's support staff.
The CAC had earlier expressed its intention in this regard at the press conference to announce the re-appointment of Ravi Shastri as the head coach of the Indian team till the 2021 World T20. Making its wish official, the CAC has now written to the CoA, putting the latter in a spot.
Asked what the solution could be in such a scenario, the functionary said: "Well, you can always have scope for guidance, if you don't wish to cut them off completely and that is something the CoA has to decide over the weekend as the process of selecting the support staff starts from Monday.
On Friday, CAC chief Kapil Dev had made his intentions known.
While Bharat Arun is certain to be retained as the bowling coach, Vikram Rathour may beat Praveen Amre for the job of batting coach, as current batting coach Sanjay Bangar's position is being questioned after the team's inability to find a competent no.4 batsman put them in trouble during the recently concluded World Cup.
