New Delhi, Jun 20: Anil Kumble has reportedly stepped down as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. Kumble was expected to join the Indian cricket team team in West Indies after an ICC board meet. There is no official confirmation made by the BCCI yet.
His decision comes after the BCCI decided to not renew his one-year contract and invited fresh applications for the post.
During Kumble’s tenure as India’s head coach from last June, the Virat Kohli-led team has conquered all comers both at home and away. They have vanquished the West Indies in the Caribbean and New Zealand, England, Bangladesh and Australia in home Test series en route to consolidating their No 1 position in the ICC Test rankings.
They have not lost any of the limited-overs series either during this period, apart from a 0-1 loss to West Indies in a rain-affected T20 series in the United States. With such an impressive CV in a short time, it was but natural for anyone to expect an extension of Kumble’s one-year contract.
