Kevin Pietersen Says He’s ‘available’ To Take Over As India Men’s Batting Coach
ICC World Test Championship: Former England batter Kevin Pietersen has expressed interest in joining the Indian men's support staff as a batting coach. The development comes amidst reports of India looking to add a batting coach to their existing support staff.
As of now, Gautam Gambhir is the head coach, with Abhishek Nayar and Ryan Ten Doeschate as assistant coaches, with Morne Morkel and T. Dilip as bowling and fielding coaches respectively. Reacting to two reports via X, Pietersen wrote he’s ‘available’ to take up the position.
It also comes at a time when two poor batting performances led to India losing 0-3 to New Zealand at home and then suffering a 1-3 defeat to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. As a result, India also lost out on a spot in the 2025 ICC World Test Championship final, to be now played between Australia and South Africa at Lord’s in June.
