The Assistant coach Absishek Nayar of the Indian cricket team was only dismissed for eight months in the assignment of a gap with a controversial member of the support staff, although the test debacles against New Zealand and Australia are quoted as the reason for his foreigner. If management sources have to be believed, Nayar is already intimated about the decision of the BCCI to renounce him.
“While the recent test debacles of India (against New -Zeeland and Australia) have led to churning, but there is also a feeling in the BCCI that Nayar became a scapegoat between an important member of the support staff and a senior star player,” a BCCI source told PTI.
Fielding coach t Dilip and power and conditioning coach Soham Desai are also on the way to the outside after completing more than three years in their respective positions.
The new standard operational procedure (SOP) of the BCCI has closed the term of office of the support staff for three years.
It is learned that India's very first power and fitness coach Adrian Le Roux will probably return for a second stint. The South African is credited on a large scale for heralding a new fitness culture in the then Sourv Ganguly-guided Indian team during the 2003 World Cup.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, when he was contacted by PTI, chose to bypass the question.
“Certain things will be completed. You will receive a BCCI press note in a few days,” said Saikia when he was asked about the development.
The 41-year-old Nayar, a former all-rounder who played three ODIs, but largely a domestic loyal to 103 first-class games, did not respond to a text message sent by PTI.
