Gautam Gambhir's tenure as head coach has started off very well. Team India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 series being played against Sri Lanka. But Gautam Gambhir's supporting staff has not been decided yet. Meanwhile, a big news related to the new supporting staff of Team India has come out. Team India has to play a Test series against Bangladesh at home after the Sri Lanka tour. Before this series, a big change will be seen in the coaching staff.

This veteran will enter the coaching staff of Team India

Former Indian spinner Sairaj Bahutule is included as bowling coach in the support staff of Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir on the Sri Lanka tour.

He is handling this responsibility on this tour on an interim basis. In such a situation, he will not be a part of the team after this tour. At the same time, according to the report of Cricbuzz, former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel will join Team India from the home series starting against Bangladesh in September. He will play the role of bowling coach in Gambhir's support staff from this series.

Gautam Gambhir's support staff will be like this

For the Sri Lanka tour, former Team India all-rounder Abhishek Nayak and former Netherlands batsman Ryan Ten Doeschate have been included in the coaching staff as assistant coaches.

At the same time, T Dilip is playing the role of fielding coach. It is almost certain that these three veterans will remain with the team. On the other hand, if the team needs a spin coach, then Sairaj Bahutule can also remain with the team. Actually, Morne Morkel is a fast bowler specialist.

Gambhir-Morkel have experience of working together

Gambhir and Morkel have also worked together in the IPL. Both these veterans worked for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.

At the same time, Morkel was a part of the same team even after Gambhir joined Kolkata Knight Riders last season. 39-year-old Morne Morkel retired from international cricket in 2018. After this, Morne Morkel was the coach of the Pakistan team during the ODI Cup held in India last year, but after the poor performance of the team, he left his post a few months before his contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ended.
