Kumble’s name was not included in the shortlist of 21 candidates that the BCCI had in mind. He was added at the insistence of the Cricket Advisory Committee, made up of three ex- India stalwarts in Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, who were tasked with selecting the man to coach the Men in Blue for the next one year. Despite not having any coaching experience, Kumble was finally selected for his overall stature and the fact that he was mentor for IPL teams for two years.
