The Indian cricket team has got a new head coach in the form of Gautam Gambhir, who will take charge of the team from the Sri Lanka series. The names of the faces that will be included in the supporting staff of Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir have not been announced yet. But the names of those veterans have come out who will be seen working with Gambhir. A member of Rahul Dravid's supporting staff will also be a part of the new staff.

Team India's coaching staff decided

According to a report by Cricbuzz, former India all-rounder Abhishek Nair and former Netherlands cricketer Ryan Ten Doeschate will be part of the coaching staff of the Indian team. Apart from these, Morne Morkel has also got a place in the supporting staff. At the same time, T Dilip will remain with the team and will play the role of fielding coach. Earlier, T Dilip was also a part of Rahul Dravid's supporting staff. Team India's fielding has improved a lot in the recent times under T Dilip, so BCCI will retain him with the team.

Those who worked with Gambhir got a chance

Both Nair and Ten Doeschate have been appointed as assistant coaches. At the same time, there is every possibility that former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel will play the role of bowling coach in Gambhir's coaching team. All three of these legends have worked with Gautam Gambhir before. Gautam Gambhir worked with Abhishek Nair and Ryan Ten Doeschate for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024. Abhishek Nair and Ryan Ten Doeschate also played an important role in making the team champion. On the other hand, Gambhir and Morkel have also worked for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL.

How long will these veterans be associated with the team?

According to the report, T Dilip and Abhishek Nair will go on the Sri Lanka tour with the team. But it is not yet clear when Ten Deutsche and Morkel will join the team. Ten Deutsche is currently part of the coaching staff of LA Knight Riders in Major League Cricket (MLC) and he is in America. In such a situation, he can join the team directly in Colombo.
