Coach issue: BCCI board to meet on Tuesday

The BCCI8217;s quest in finding a new coach since then has not borne fruit and twice, in the last couple of months, a meeting of the special coach selection committee had been put off for different reasons.

Currently, Lalchand Rajput is in charge of the team8217;s affairs as its cricket manager on a series to series basis after having taking over the job from another former Test cricketer Chandu Borde at the end of India8217;s trip to England.

Rajput8217;s tenure, however, has been finalised only till the end of the current five-match ODI series against Pakistan on November 18.

The two teams are to take part in a three-Test series at the end of the ODI rubber from November 22-December 12.

After a short break of three-four days, India are set to depart for a full tour of Australia with their first tour match Down Under, against Victoria, scheduled on December 20.
