(PTI Photo) File photo of cricketer Zaheer Khan who was appointed as the bowling Coach of India cricket team on Tuesday. According to some reports, Bharat Arun was Shastri’s preferred choice as full-time bowling coach. But it’s an accepted custom in sport that the head coach brings in his own support staff and the COA is considerate towards Shastri’s demand. A COA member told this paper yesterday that the BCCI acting secretary and CEO would be directed to talk to the new head coach in this regard.
