Ending long due speculation
over the appointment of new
head coach, the Board of
Control for Cricket in India
(BCCI) named Ravi Shastri as
Anil Kumble's replacement,
while also roping in Zaheer
Khan and Rahul Dravid as
bowling coach and overseas
batting consultant respectively.
"On Cricket Advisory
Committee's recommendation,
we have decided to appoint
Ravi Shastri as the chief coach
while Zaheer Khan will be
appointed bowling coach for a
period of two years," BCCI
acting president CK Khanna
confirmed the development.
It will be third stint with the
national team for 55- year-old
Shastri, who was earlier a
Cricket Manager during 2007
tour of Bangladesh and then
Team Director from 2014
August to 2016 June during
which India won Test overseas
series versus Sri Lanka,
reached the semi-finals of 2015
World Cup and World T20
semi-finals in 2016.
It was learnt that it was a fight
between Shastri and Virender
Sehwag but it was skipper Virat
Kohli's strong recommendation
about Shastri's earlier tenure
that swung the deal in favour of
BCCI's 'Man of All Seasons'.
Zaheer Khan, who last played
international cricket in 2014, is
considered to be one of finest
exponents of swing bowling
India has ever produced.
Dravid, who recently signed a
new 2-year contract as the
head coach of the U-19 Indian
cricket team, will be seen giving
his expert opinion for all of the
foreign series to Virat Kohli and
Co.

career.

cricketing terms was that Lanka

from all three formatsdespite hosting the series.
After the series loss, Mathews
was quoted in the media to be
saying, "It`s one of the lowest
points in my career, and a hard
one to swallow. Everything
went against us, from the toss
to misreading the wicket. But
there are no excuses. At the
end of the day we were not
good enough to beat them.
They played better cricket."
He further added, "We have
not been consistent. The
pressure is on all of us. The
more we lose, the
more pressure we are
under.

Top Indian paddlers will rub
shoulders with the best in
business as Ultimate Table
Tennis(UTT), country’s first
ever professional league, kicks
off here tomorrow.
Table tennis has become the
latest sport in India to jump on
the Pro league bandwagon
after badminton, football,
hockey, wrestling and kabaddi,
aiming to raise profile of the
racket sport in the country.
Unl ike other ci ty-based
leagues, UTT will have six
franchise-based clubs fighting
it out for top honours. What is
expected to give the venture a
big fillip is that all matches will
be broadcast live with film star
Amir Khan being the league’s
biggest ambassador.
While the top Chinese players
have given the project a miss,
one can still expect some high-
quality table tennis from the likes
of men’s world number 8 Wong
Chun Ting of Hong Kong and
women’s number nine Han
Ying of Germany, who are
headlining the field.
Karolina Pliskova is new world
number one in women’s tennis
