Former India and Railways batsman Sanjay Bangar has been named the head coach of the Indian cricket team’s upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. While there was no place for Bharat Arun and R Sridhar in the support staff, who were the senior team’s bowling coach and fielding coach respectively.

The men in blue are slated to play three T20s and three ODIs in Zimbabwe, starting on June 11. The selectors had named a largely inexperienced squad for the tour, which will be led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Mr. Sanjay Bangar has been appointed as the Head Coach of the Indian cricket team for the forthcoming tour to Zimbabwe, which commences on the 8th of June comprising three One-Day International matches and three T20 International matches to be played in Harare.
