The current support staff comprising incumbent head coach Ravi Shastri, bowling coach Bharat Arun, batting coach Sanjay Bangar and fielding coach R Sridhar were given a 45-day extension following the World Cup, covering the ongoing West Indies tour from August 3 to September 3

As per norms, while the new Cricket Advisory Committee — likely to be chaired by Kapil Dev — will decide on the head coach, the selectors have been tasked to conduct interviews for the rest of the support staff

The board has invited applications for seven positions — head coach, batting coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach and administrative manager

'I think Virat Kohli is probably the number one batsman across all formats. So I think to compare anybody to the way he plays is not right,' Bharat Arun said ahead of India's World Cup 2019 match against West Indies

'Bhuvneshwar's injury is not of any great concern. It is just a niggle, which we didn't want to take a chance. And it was also an opportunity for us to plug Shami into the games. But the fact he's done exceptionally well all goes well for us; it's an embarrassment of riches,' said Bharat Arun ahead of India-West Indies match at the ICC World Cup 2019

'To be very honest we are not even aware of what colours we're going to be wearing. So we have not given any thought to that. And all our focus is on the match tomorrow,' India's bowling coach Bharat Arun told reporters on the eve of the World Cup 2019 match against the West Indies in Manchester

Jasprit Bumrah is the quintessential T20-era pacer, intermixing learning and experiences from different formats, and indeed not only from IPL but also Ranji Trophy cricket, which he considers a cornerstone of his fast-tracked growth. Combining this confidence with variations, he bamboozles batsmen with new and older balls, red or white, alike

'Fast bowlers are a precious commodity and they need to be taken care of, like what you do with a racehorse and that's exactly what's happening,' Bharat Arun said, reflecting on reports that Virat Kohli and his wife vacated business class seats for the pacers on their way to Perth
