New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI) Former national selector Devang Gandhi has been appointed head coach of the senior Delhi team for the upcoming domestic season, DDCA announced on Saturday.
Gandhi, who had played three Tests for India in 1999, was a senior national selector from 2016-17 to 2020-21 season.
V Arvind will be bowling coach, Bantu Singh will be batting coach and recently retired Punit Bisht is new fielding coach of the senior team.
He was currently coaching the Bengal U-19 team but as per senior DDCA sources, they wanted someone from outside Delhi, who doesn’t carry any baggage and also comes with a clean slate.
“Devang Gandhi is a respected name in Bengal cricket and although he doesn’t have coaching experience at senior level, the DDCA president Rohan Jaitley received a lot of positive feedback about him from influential quarters. Hence the names of Maninder Singh, Ajay Ratra, Manoj Prabhakar and Ajay Sharma weren’t considered,” a senior DDCA official told
