Anil Kumble, who was appointed the Head Coach of the Indian cricket team will be keen on having someone who will guide the young Indian pacers to reach their maximum potential.

So who are the possible contenders that Kumble and Co. look at. Here is a list of candidates, who would fit in the role to perfection.

ZAHEER KHAN
