The Indian cricket team is set to receive an addition to the support staff as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to add Sitanshu Kotak, currently the India A head coach, as the batting coach. Kotak will join head coach Gautam Gambhir from the home series versus England which features five T20Is and three ODIs.
It is understood that Gambhir had asked for a batting coach during the BCCI review meet following the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the Indian cricket board has agreed to the request. Kotak has been part of the India A set-up and National Cricket Academy (NCA) for a very long time.
