Who should become the next head coach of the Indian team? Former Pakistani veteran gave a candid answer

 

Wasim Akram on Indian Head Coach: Between the final phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) and the beginning of the T20 World Cup 2024, BCCI is rapidly searching for a new head coach for the Indian team. After the T20 World Cup 2024, the tenure of India's current head coach Rahul Dravid is about to end. According to media reports, among the names that BCCI is discussing, one of the big names is that of former Indian team opener Gautam Gambhir. Amidst these discussions, former Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram has told who should become the next head coach of the Indian team.

Wasim Akram told who should be made the next head coach of the Indian team

While talking to Sportskeeda, Wasim Akram has called Gautam Gambhir as the right choice. He said that 'if Gambhir becomes the head coach of the Indian team, it will be very good. He has all the capabilities to become a coach. Now it depends on them whether they accept this offer or not. I have heard some other names being discussed but I would recommend that BCCI appoint those who are already part of the system as coaches. In my view, apart from Gambhir, Ashish Nehra is also the right choice as a coach.

Wasim Akram while talking about Ashish Nehra said that 'Ashish Nehra has also done a lot of coaching. People like them. People want to be close to Nehra. He has good experience. Gujarat Titans won the title under his coaching. Apart from this, VVS Laxman can also be a good option for the coach.

Let us tell you that during the IPL, the news came out that BCCI wants to make Gautam Gambhir the next head coach of the Indian team. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding this yet. Gautam Gambhir is currently playing the role of mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024. After becoming his mentor, KKR has performed brilliantly and qualified for the playoffs by finishing first. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see to whom BCCI hands over the responsibility of the next head coach post.
