There was news that the board is serious about appointing a foreign coach this time. Reportedly, the names of CSK coach Stephen Fleming and Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting were being considered for this responsibility, but some people like Ricky Ponting and Justin Langer refused to accept this responsibility.

It has been revealed that 3400 fake applications have been made in the name of Prime Minister Modi, Amit Shah, Shahrukh Khan and Dhoni for the post of head coach of the Indian cricket team. Yesterday, BCCI had announced the last day to apply for the post of head coach.

Accordingly, the BCCI examined the applications received and found that fake applications were made. The BCCI has come to know about applications received in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Virender Sehwag, Shah Rukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and others and has declared them fake.

It is worth noting that last time too BCCI had received many fake applications. BCCI said that this time too fake applications have been received and next time a new process will be adopted to apply for the coach's post.
