Kolkata Knight Riders: In a major development, Abhishek Nayar, T. Dilip, and Soham Desai are likely to be removed from the India men’s cricket team support staff. Sources have also told IANS that a team masseur, whose identity is yet to be known, has also been removed from the national set-up.
Nayar had come on board as the Indian team assistant coach in July last year after leaving Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) while Dilip and Desai have been a part of the set-up from November 2021 and October 2020 respectively. The quartet had been a part of India's 2025 Champions Trophy triumph in an unbeaten campaign in Dubai.
“Some people in the Board had been saying about what’s the point of having so many people in men’s team support staff, especially after the debacle of Test series defeat in Australia. They had this view that with so many coaches there, the support staff of the men’s team gave a crowded look.”
