Former Indian opener VIrender Sehwag shocked BCCI by presenting a two line CV as part of applying for the coveted India chief coach’s job. In a two line application, Sehwag wrote that he was mentor of the Kings XI Punjab outfit and was familiar with the current crop of Indian players. This has stunned the SC-appointed Committee of Administrators as they feel it is odd and lacks seriousness from the former opener’s side.
When asked about the odd application, a source in the COA said that it was strange and a protocol needed to be followed.
“Yes it is odd is what I will say, but beyond that I have nothing to say. I am not travelling with the team and you should get in touch with CEO Rahul Johri for further update,” the official said.
The official also said that a cease-fire between coach Anil Kumble and skipper Virat Kohli would be the best possible solution in the whole matter.
“While it is very difficult to comment from the outside, it looks like the ideal situation would be Kohli and Kumble burying the hatchet. But let’s see if that is a possibility,” the official added.
There were reports suggesting that some of the BCCI officials forced Sehwag to send his resume so that BCCI can consider Sehwag as the replacement for current coach Anil Kumble whose tenure will ends this June
“Sehwag being Sehwag has sent his application in two lines. There was no CV attached to it. We had to ask him to send his CV too along with his application. After all it will be the first time he is set to appear for the interview,” a source in the BCCI informed The Indian Express.
