Two days after the appointment of Ravi Shastri and Zaheer Khan as head coach and bowling coach, it has emerged that Shastri is set to have a meeting with Supreme Court - appointed (CoA) on Monday to discuss the role of bowling coach.
It is learnt that Shastri is adamant on having Bharat Arun, who served as the bowling coach during his last stint as team director, back on board.
In an interview to ToI on Thursday, Shastri clearly stated that he was entitled to pick his support staff. However, Shastri is not averse to the idea to have Zaheer as the bowling coach. "Shastri has asked for just one thing. He doesn't mind Zaheer as a consultant. But Arun has more technical experience in ironing out flaws, " a source close to the development told ToI on Thursday. "No doubt Zaheer has a lot of knowledge. But he has no coaching experience. Everyone saw what happened with Anil Kumble. He can be groomed into a bowling coach, " the source added.
