Sitanshu Kotak, former coach of India A, has been named as the head coach for India’s upcoming series against Ireland. Given the significant tournaments ahead – the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup later this year – India’s usual coaching team will take a break. This means that head coach Rahul Dravid, along with bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and batting coach Vikram Rathour, will not be part of the team’s assistance.
