After the former head coach of Team India stepped down from his post on June 22, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has extended the deadline to apply for the post of Head Coach until July 9. This decision has been taken in order to ensure that more number of options would be available to choose from.
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has extended the timeline for submission of applications for the post of ‘Head Coach’ for India Men’s Cricket Team. The candidates who have applied earlier need not re-apply and will be included in the final list of applicants. The last date for submission of applications is hence extended to the 9th of July, 2017,” the release stated.The release states that applicants should be available for interview in person or via video conferencing by next week which means that the coach will be appointed before the Sri Lanka series starting last week of July.

The process has been now extended by 16 days, which effectively gives former Team Director Ravi Shastri a chance to throw his hat in the ring.As of now, Shastri has not made his intentions clear but sources say he will only apply if he is assured of appointment. However, with former India captain Sourav Ganguly being a part of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), it might not be a smooth sail for Shastri.
