The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly obtained ‘fake’ applications in the names of former cricketers MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar for the function of head coach of the senior males’s staff. The Indian staff is in the hunt for a brand new coach after Rahul Dravid, whose tenure will draw curtains on the finish of the T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies.
As reported in the Indian Express, the Indian Board has obtained greater than 3000 applications for the highest function in the teaching employees, most of that are fake.
