NEW DELHI: The BCCI on Tuesday denied reports of Ravi Shastri being named as the head coach of Team India, saying the the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) is still deliberating over the decision.Earlier it was wildly reported in the media that former India allrounder and captain Shastri, who was team director of the Indian men's cricket team from August 2014 to April 2016, has been appointed as head coach for a two-year period until the end of the 2019 ICC World Cup. "No decision has been made on appointment of new coach. The CAC is still deliberating over it," BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary told reporters on Tuesday. Kohli denied reports of a rift with Kumble, who proceeded to step down as head coach after a year in charge, because his "partnership" with the captain was "untenable". In his statement of resignation, Kumble said that the BCCI had "attempted to resolve the misunderstandings" but felt it was "best to move on".Kumble's resignation came less than two days after India were beaten by Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final.
