The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now in search of a foreign coach as the idea of bringing Anil Kumble back didn't impress most of the board members, sources said. "Well, neither Kumble wants to return, nor the BCCI officials, other than president Sourav Ganguly, are or were interested.

"The board is looking for a foreign coach now. Kumble knows that he will have to face the same old team members [Virat Kohli and others in the team], nothing new, then why would he return? "And moreover Dada [Ganguly] has recommended his name, but other officials expressed their disagreement on it," a highly-placed source in the board said.
