New Delhi, Sep 20 (PTI) Former India off-spinner and national selector Sarandeep Singh will be the new head coach of Delhi’s senior team for the upcoming domestic season.

He was appointed by the three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) of the state unit.

Sarandeep will be assisted by bowling coach V Aravind and batting coach Bantu Singh, both of them continuing from last year.

In a new position created by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), the senior men’s team will have two mentors — Atul Wassan for white ball and Robin Singh Junior for red ball. Reema Malhotra will be mentor of the women’s team.

Last year’s coach Devang Gandhi, who made quite an impression on both the seniors and juniors in the team will not be available this season due to personal reasons and didn’t apply for the coach’s post.

It is understood that the CAC comprising former India players Surinder Khanna, Nikhil Chopra and Anjali Malhotra had two choices for the top job — Sarandeep and former Delhi coach KP Bhaskar.

“The apex council has approved Sarandeep’s name for the head coach’s post. His name was also there last year when Devang became coach. Bhaskar was the other candidate but he will be fitted in as one of three selectors,” a senior DDCA official told
