Anil Kumble is set to retain as the India coach till the India tour of West Indies. CK Khanna on Thursday wrote a letter to secretary Amitabh Chaudhary recommending to recruit Kumble till the end of West Indies series.
CAC, including Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman would find it hard to remove Kumble at a moment’s notice. “I have written a letter to the secretary asking him to refer the recruitment process till June 26 when BCCI’s SGM will be held,” Khanna said.

He also added, “Whenever it is Anil Kumble retained or anyone else roped in, whoever gets the job will be given contract till 2019 world cup.” The main problem is how can a team manage to carry on with the captain and coach who are not comfortable in working with each other .
“The CAC has bought some time for Kumble. And ensured he is not ignominiously removed after India’s run in the Champions Trophy. He will travel with the team to West Indies. It’s a short tour so there shouldn’t be any problems,” said a top source. “Kohli is basically being asked to ‘adjust’ for a while more.”
