NEW DELHI: The idea to appoint separate coaches for white-ball and Test cricket is not new. It's been given a shot by teams -- proved effective for some, like England, and blew up in the face for some, like Pakistan. It's never been done by India, who've stuck to the one-coach-for-all-formats formula. But former England spinner Monty Panesar isn't sure if that will work with Gautam Gambhir, who has had a forgettable run in Test cricket as India's head coach in the first six months of his tenure.
Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid in July last year and has been at the helm for 10 Test matches so far, winning just three of them, losing six and drawing one.
