Kapil Dev Backs Separate Coaches for Formats, Leaves Decision to BCCI
- •World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev supports the idea of separate coaches for Test, ODI, and T20 cricket.
- •He believes the decision rests entirely with the BCCI and team strategists, not for him to dictate.
- •The debate arises as India, currently coached by Gautam Gambhir, excels in limited-overs but lags in Test cricket.
- •Australia and England already employ separate coaching structures for different formats.
- •Kapil emphasizes that the number of coaches should be based on team needs and results, a call for the cricket board and selectors.
Why It Matters: Kapil Dev advocates for format-specific coaches, deferring the final decision to the BCCI and selectors.
