India Splits Coaching Staff Between ODI and Test Squads Ahead of New Zealand SeriesPreviousNext

India's cricket coaching staff will split after the third ODI against New Zealand, with head coach Gautam Gambhir and spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule staying with the ODI squad for the remaining matches. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak and fast-bowling coach Morne Morkel will join the Test squad in Wellington for preparations ahead of the two-Test series starting November 19. Additionally, three fast bowlers—Gurnoor Brar, Auqib Nabi, and Arshdeep Singh—will remain in New Zealand to assist the Test team as net bowlers and reserves. The split aims to optimize preparation for both formats amid challenging pitch conditions.
