ROBIN AND VENKATESH PRASAD MAY NOT CONTINUE AS COACHES

The BCCI is now in a confusion over whether to continue with Robin Singh as the fielding coach of Indian Cricket team or not. The reason is nothing about his performance with Indian team but for the contract he made with the Hyderabad IPL team. BCCI thinks that there may be some conflict in the interest for Indian support staff to join the IPL teams. It is expected that an effective decision would be taken in 10 days on this issue. Indian team's bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad has also been linked in this issue as he was bought by the Bangalore Royale Challengers. However both of them have been good in their job as the Indian Cricket team had done pretty well in this season. But their full time contracts with IPL would have an adverse effect on the Indian Cricket team.
