Vikram Rathour New Batting Coach of India
Former Indian-born player Vikram Rathour will replace Sanjay Bangar as the new Indian team batting coach. Bharath Arun and R. Sridhar will continue their work as steamer coaches and coaches, respectively.
The Senior Selection Committee for All India headed by MSK Prasad has selected three names for each of the support staff positions, and the most prestigious names in each category will be named once the formalities are completed. Rathour, 50, competed in 6 tests and 7 ODIs for India but was a national heavyweight for Punjab. Until a few years ago, he was a high-level national selector chaired by Sandeep Patil.
Previously, he had applied for the position of NCA strike consultant and U-19 batting coach, but his candidacy was suspended, with his brother-in-law, Ashish Kapoor, chairing the U19 selection committee.
"Vikram Rathour has enough experience and we are convinced of his skills (as a coach). "We will ask him to declare if there is a conflict," BCCI Director General Rahul Johri told reporters.
According to the selection committee's recommendations, the current coach of the Indian team, Sanjay Bangar, finished second, while former England batsman Mark Ramprakash was third.
"Team management had their views but, in the future, we felt the support staff needed to be fresher".
Former Mumbai Indian physio Nitin Patel, who was on the support staff during the 2011 World Cup campaign, is back as England's Luke Woodhouse has been named a strength and fitness coach.
