Ravi Shastri to step down as India coach after T20 World Cup, Anil Kumble likely to return

With Ravi Shastri's tenure set to come to an end and Virat Kohli no longer the T20 skipper, the BCCI is reportedly chalking out a plan to bring Anil Kumble as the head coach.

Life may come to a full circle for Anil Kumble as the Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI might ask him to apply for the post of head coach of the Indian team along with VVS Laxman once Ravi Shastri finishes his term after the T20 World Cup.

Kumble was the coach of the Indian team for a year between 2016-17 when the Cricket Advisory Committee headed by Sachin Tendulkar, Laxman and Ganguly had appointed him, replacing Shastri.
