India will soon have a new Head Coach. The role will be vacant after the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. In the current era, a lot of teams are going behind young coaches. These coaches are dynamic and have hands-on experience with the modern demands of the game. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three candidates aged under 45 whom BCCI could consider for the role of India’s Head Coach.
1) Gautam Gambhir – 42 Years
At the moment, it is Gautam Gambhir who is firmly leading the race for the India job. However, it is not sure if he has applied for it.
He is the man behind KKR‘s success in IPL 2024. A direct and fearless cricketer, some of his philosophies would help the Indian Team. He is also young and hence, he could be a long-term investment.
2) Adam Voges – 44 Years
Adam Voges is one of the candidates aged under 45 whom BCCI could consider for the role of India’s Head Coach. The former Australian cricketer is one of the highly under-rated coaches going around. He has won multiple trophies with Perth Scorchers in the Australian Big Bash League.
Interestingly, he does not have a lot of gigs outside Australia, as well. Nevertheless, Voges is a good tactician and will be a decent consideration for the job.
3) Shane Watson – 42 Years
Shane Watson was recently in the discussion for the role of Pakistan’s Head Coach. However, he declined the offer. That said, the India job is much bigger and if it comes his way, he could very well take it up.
He coached during the recent Pakistan Super League. Watson was impressive and many got to see his coaching skills. A man with a lot of tactics up his sleeve, his Aussie mentality could be put to great use with the resources in the Indian squad.
