In coaching reshuffle, Nayar, Dilip set to exit
Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai
|April 18, 2025
As a fallout of India's 3-1 defeat to Australia in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar trophy which cost them a berth to the World Test Championship final, assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and fielding coach T Dilip have been shown the exit door.
MUMBAI:
"There will be a reshuffle in the coaching staff starting with the upcoming five-Test series in England," a BCCI official confirmed.
For now, there won't be any high-profile additions to the Gautam Gambhir-led coaching staff. Sitanshu Kotak, who joined the team as batting coach in January will work with the team in England. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate is set to take over duties as fielding coach. Strength and conditioning coach Soham Desai is set to be replaced by South African Adrian le Roux who has worked with the Indian team before.
On the face of it, Nayar and Dilip appear to be the fall guys of a series debacle which exposed deeper cracks within the Indian Test set up. What's left unsaid officially and will not find a mention in the media release is head coach Gambhir having a final say on team matters.
