Venkatesh Prasad applies for India head coach job: Reports

Former India bowler Venkatesh Prasad has applied for the job of India's head coach joining the likes of Ravi Shastri and Virender Sehwag, among others.

According to a report in TOI, Prasad, who has played 33 Tests and 161 ODIs for India is the latest applicant for the top job. Prasad, who is currently a junior national chief selector will end his term in September.

The report further stated that the Committee of Advisors (COA) wasn't happy with the manner in which the Anil Kumble-Virat Kohli matter was handled. According to the report the COA came to know about the matter only after the IPL 2017 final in Hyderabad.

"They (CoA members) came to know about the problem only after the IPL final in Hyderabad last month, by which time it was too late to do anything except ask the CAC to pitch in," an official stated.

The report further stated that top members were just not happy with the way an BCCI official asked Sehwag to apply for the job.

"If it (the extension) was done to suit Shastri, it won't go down well with Viru, who, we must remember, was asked to apply in the first place. Neither will he be pleased about Sachin Tendulkar's reported request to Shastri to apply for the job."

"He wasn't on long enough to be tired so I think it might have been something that just happened there and then. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added.
