Will there be different coaches for different formats?

Jay Shah has turned down the discussion on having different coaches for different formats and will be having one single coach to guide the Men in Blue as there are many all-format players in their team like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant.

“That decision will also be made by the CAC. There are many all-format players, like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rishabh Pant, among others. Moreover, there is no precedent for such a situation in India,” said Jay Shah.
