Current Head Coach of Afghanistan Cricket Team, Lalchand Rajput made himself available for the interview of Head Coach in the Indian Cricket Team via Skype. Rajput, along with the Afghanistan Cricket team, travels to London to play Marylebone Crockett Club on the 11th of July. Since the interview is scheduled to be held in the interim, Rajput made himself available online if asked by the CAC.

Rajput has previously worked with the Indian Team a decade back, during India’s successful campaign in the T20 World Cup of 2007 in South Africa. India won the inaugural edition of the Championship with MS Dhoni leading the side towards victory in his first major assignement.

Many domestic and international stalwarts have applied for the coveted post of the Head Coach of Indian Cricket team. Tom Moody, Phil Simmons, and Richard Pybus are lined up in the foreign front while Virender Sehwag, Ravi Shastri, and Dodda Ganesh hold the Indian front.
