Punjab Cricket Association appoints Surendra Bhave as head coach

Besides having two stints with his home team Maharashtra, Bhave has also been the head coach of Haryana for two seasons

Former Maharashtra captain and coach Surendra Bhave has been appointed as Punjab’s chief coach for the forthcoming domestic season. “The CAC has recommended his name for the chief coach for the upcoming season. Gagangdeep Singh has been appointed as the bowling coach and Sandeep Sawal will be the fielding coach,” Puneet Bali, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) secretary, told The Hindu on Saturday. “We wanted a person with a high level of skill, high level of coaching acumen, not partisan to anything in Punjab, someone with independent opinion and independent outlook. We are looking forward to the association with Bhave.”
