    A senior BCCI official confirmed that Shastri, along with batting coach Bangar, bowling coach Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar will send their applications. 

    “All the three coaches (Arun, Bangar, Sridhar) along with Shastri are applying as they have got positive feelers from the top brass of the BCCI. Since there will be a format of application that each applicant will have to follow, they are waiting for the advertisement to be published,” a senior BCCI official privy to the development told PTI

    According to the BCCI source, just days before Anurag Thakur was elected as the President, the support staff had met him in Delhi and the discussions were said to be “positive” as he had praised their work. 

    “The BCCI president had made it clear that anyone with proper credentials can apply. Also Thakur has praised the work done in the last 18 months. The young team has enjoyed a fair bit of success overseas. It is only fair that they get equal chance like other applicants,” said the source.
