BCCI invites fresh applications for India coach role

In the wake of Anil Kumble's withdrawal from the race, the BCCI has decided to invite fresh applications to pick India's next head coach. The advertisement is likely to be out on Saturday. The new candidates will join the five already shortlisted candidates comprising Virender Sehwag, Tom Moody, Lalchand Rajput, Richard Pybus and Dodda Ganesh. The last date for submission of applications has been extended to July 9.

The final shortlist will be then sent to the cricket advisory committee of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman who will conduct interviews before sending their final choice to the BCCI.
