While the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) had recommended Zaheer Khan’s name for the bowling coach on 11 July 2017, BCCI announced Bharat Arun as the bowling coach for India on 18 July 2017.

All disarray started with the appointement of Ravi Shastri as head coach where CAC has to appoint the coach immediately as BCCI asked them to do so immediately and Cricket Advisory Committee did so by appointing other two coaches Zaheer Khan as bowling coach and Rahul Dravid as foreign batting consultant. Ravi Shastri already made his intentions clear that he was not asked before the appointment of duo.

Hope this chaos is over and no other surprise news will come again. As team India need to focus on the cricket by putting behind all the issues behind.
