Zimbabwe-born Duncan Fletcher was on Wednesday appointed as the coach of the Indian cricket team. The former England coach will replace Gary Kirsten just ahead of India’s tour to West Indies. “Fletcher has been appointed for a two-year period,” said Board secretary N Srinivasan. Fletcher bagged the top job in the Indian team ahead of names like former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming and former Zimbabwe player Andy Flower. Fletcher happens to be Kirsten's recommendation and definitely someone with a proven record.
Earlier, there were reports that Eric Simons would be made an provisional coach for the upcoming West Indies tour. India are scheduled to visit West Indies from June 4 to July 10 which will be immediately followed by a much longer tour of England involving four Tests, a T20 game and five one-dayers.
