India to decide on support staff by September 15: Anurag Thakur

Anurag Thakur, the Board of Control for Cricket in India president, on Sunday (July 17) confirmed the support staff will be selected before September 15. He informed that a meeting would take place with Anil Kumble, the head coach, and other board members after the team returns from the West Indies tour.

"We will decide on the appointment of the coaches for bowling, batting and fielding and other support staff at the meeting," he said.
Thakur was in Coimbatore for a two-day visit to take part in a yoga programme at Isha Yoga Centre. Speaking about Kumble's selection as head coach for just a one-year period, he said: "Based on his performance, the decision on the contract would be taken."
Thakur also confirmed that there will be no day-night Test between India and New Zealand later this year. "The New Zealand tour of India will be day matches. For now, pink ball will be used only for the Duleep Trophy which will be a day-and-night affair," he revealed.
