IND vs SL: Gambhir’s coin has worked again! These 3 big faces will be included in the coaching staff

IND vs SL: The team has been announced for the T20 and ODI series starting between India and Sri Lanka from July 27. This is the first tour of Gautam Gambhir, the new head coach of the team. Before this, a big update has come regarding the coaching staff. Actually, Abhishek Nair and Ryan Ten Doeschate are set to join the coaching staff with Gambhir, while T Dilip will remain the fielding coach. However, BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has not yet officially announced it.

According to media reports, Nair and Ten Doeschate, who played three ODIs for India, have been appointed as assistant coaches in the Indian team. It is worth noting that when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the IPL 2024 title under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir, both of them were with Gambhir and were playing the role of mentorship in the coaching staff of Knight Riders.

Dilip will remain the fielding coach

According to media reports, the current fielding coach of Team India, T Dilip, has been retained as he has made a good positive impact not only as an effective fielding coach but also in the dressing room. The report states, “He is believed to be very good at team bonding exercises, which is considered a major requirement for players in a highly competitive environment.”

Suspense over bowling coach

Media reports have said that there is some suspense over who will be the new bowling coach, but former South African bowler Morne Morkel is still a strong candidate for this. Morkel worked with Gambhir at Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022 and 2023, where Gambhir was the mentor.

Team India will leave for Sri Lanka on 22 July

Let us tell you that Team India’s squad will fly on Monday 22 July for the Sri Lanka tour. During this, T Dilip and Nair will also leave with coach Gautam Gambhir. While the timing of Ten Doeschate’s participation is uncertain, as he is currently in the United States as part of the coaching staff of LA Knight Riders in Major League Cricket (MLC) and can join the Indian team directly in Colombo after a few days.
