Gautam Gambhir has been under massive scanner as Test coach of India. Ever since he has taken over the role, things have been extremely difficult for the side. They faced their first-ever whitewash at home after New Zealand beat them 3-0 last year, and then the Rohit Sharma-led side had a poor Australia tour.
The next assignment for India will be the five-match Test series against England. This will also mark the new cycle of the ICC World Test Championship. Head coach Gambhir would be keen to start it on a high, and it is reported that he had started planning for it in January this year.
Gautam Gambhir expresses his desire to travel with India A to England to monitor the reserve pool ahead of the Test tour
"Gambhir has been in discussions with the BCCI since he returned from Australia. He has expressed his desire to travel with the India 'A' team to get a clearer view of the reserve pool," a BCCI source said.
If this happens, Gautam Gambhir will become the first Indian coach to travel with the developmental side. The head coach will now have a two-month break since the players will be involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
