rollingstoned Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Abhishek Nayar, T Dilip to be sacked as BCCI set to trim Gautam Gambhir's support staff before England series: Report BCCI are reportedly planning to trim Gautam Gambhir's support staff before England tour in June and the axe could fall on Abhishek Nayar and T Dilip. Team India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and fielding coach T Dilip could be asked to pack their bags soon as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is seriously considering trimming head coach Gautam Gambhir's support staff before the England tour. According to a Dainik Jagran report, BCCI does not want to keep the jumbo support staff of the men's team going forward. The decision, in all probability, will be finalised in a high-profile meeting in Guwahati on March 29 among BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir, the report added. Abhishek Nayar with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Morne Morkel(ANI) When Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as India's head coach after the latter decided to discontinue following a successful T20 World Cup-winning campaign, he became the first coach of Team India to bring two assistant coaches and a bowling coach with him. Breaking away from the full-Indian support staff during Ravi Shastri and Dravid's tenure, India roped in Ryan ten Doeschate and Abhishek Nayar as assistant coaches. At the same time, Morne Morkel took over the bowing coach's responsibility from Paras Mhambrey. After India lost at home against New Zealand and were beaten by Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the BCCI appointed NCA and A team coach Sitanshu Kotak as the senior team's batting coach. Nayar, ten Doeschate, Morkel, Dilip and Kotak were all part of the coaching staff in India's Champions Trophy-winning campaign. Notably, India's jumbo support staff doesn't end there. Apart from the designated coaches, the team has three throwdown specialists, two massage therapists, a senior and a junior physiotherapist, a team doctor, a security and operations manager, a computer analyst, and a few logistical and media managers. Many have been a part of the team for nearly a decade, and some, like Raghavendra, have been associated with the team since 2011. Who will replace Abhishek Nayar and T Dilip? Their position is unlikely to be changed. But the same may not be true for Nayar and Dilip. With Kotak already there as the batting coach and Morkel taking over the responsibility of the bowlers, the board feels there is no need of another assistant coach and a fielding coach. Dilip is the only surviving member of Dravid's support staff. The report highlighted that Dilip overstayed his welcome. He has been part of the team for more than three years now. In his absence, ten Doeschate can take over the fielding coach's responsibility. India has done exceedingly well in white-ball cricket, winning two ICC tournaments in a span of nine months for the first time. But their Test performance has nosedived. The team has lost six out of their nine Test matches, winning just one. After the IPL, India's next assignment is the five-match Test series against England in June. The board wants the entire support staff, selectors and the players to take the A tour very seriously. Gollum 1

Why are we so harsh on T Dilip ? Yes some catches have dropped, but the team has also pulled some match winning blinders. Besides catching is just one aspect of fielding. Some people are genetically unathletic ( like Ashwin, Kuldeep...etc ) ....unka Jonty bhi kuch nahi kar sakta. rollingstoned, raki05 and Lord 2 1
rangeelaraja Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I agree with sacking Abhishek Nayyar. He is a LOI hitting " coach " at best. Its a total disaster to have someone like him as batting coach.
Ultimate_Game Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Get Bharat Arun back as the bowling coach. Indian bowlers, even youngsters looked the part when he was around. Soorma Bhopali 1

raki05 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 14 hours ago, Lord said: GG also isn't. Captain atleast won something before GG arrived How come rohit and gambhir survived such disaster test performance. I dont see any country would entertain 3-0 whitewash homeloss by a puny opposition whom we always humiliated since the beginning of time in our home. Looks like these idiots bcci are washing off home 3-0 whitewash and bgt with CT victory. Lord and Soorma Bhopali 2
Suhaan Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Chindichori of BCCI,why they are not having two separate batting coaches for loi and tests I believe Nayar did quite well with our loi batting while they should appoint a separate red ball batting coach Use your money properly instead of shelling it to soothe your pampered oldies raki05, rahulrulezz, Manucrick and 1 other 1 1 2

zaqw222222 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Good to see T Dilip getting sacked, our fielding in champions trophy was bad. We dropped 11 catches and in terms of catching efficiency we were just above Pakistan and Bangladesh
neel roy Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Funniest thing in the medal ceremony after India has dropped 4 catches in the match and missed 2 run outs T Dilip ‘ I love the intensity of the team to go after every ball and give their 100 percent. I love how we attacked the ball and were always on our toes. It was a great team effort ‘ Even the players were laughing and winking rollingstoned and Ultimate_Game 2
