The BCCI had announced Ravi Shastri as the new chief coach of the Indian cricket team. Former fast bowling great Zaheer Khan has been appointed the bowling coach for a period of two years.
It will be the third stint with the national team for 55-year-old Shastri, who was earlier a Cricket Manager during 2007 tour of Bangladesh and then Team Director from 2014 August to 2016 June during which India won Test overseas series versus Sri Lanka, reached the semi-finals of 2015 World Cup and World T20 semi-finals in 2016.
Zaheer Khan, who last played international cricket in 2014, is considered to be one of finest exponents of swing bowling India has ever produced.
