Team India gets new Bowling coach

New Delhi, July 18: Team India gets new bowling coach, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday named Bharat Arun the bowling coach for the Indian cricket team.

R. Sridhar was named the fielding coach and also Sanjay Bangar was named the assistant coach.

Arun was Team India Head Coach Ravi Shastri's first choice from the beginning, while the names of Zaheer Khan and Rahul Dravid, earlier named bowling coach and batting consultant, had come up when Shastri was named for the top post.

Ravi Shastri said that "I was very clear in my mind what my core team would be and you have just heard that,"

His appointment marks a complete u-turn for the BCCI, which had named Zaheer as bowling consultant initially before clarifying that it was for specific overseas tours. There is also, no clarity on Dravid's position as batting consultant either.
