The BCCI has decided to reappoint T Dilip as the team’s fielding coach for the upcoming tour of England after failing to zero in on a suitable replacement.

The board had decided to part ways with Dilip, along with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, last month in a coaching staff rejig following India’s poor outing at the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia. “Dilip is a good coach, who served the team well for over three years [from 2021]. He knows most of these cricketers closely. So, to have him on board for a big series will do the team good,” a source told PTI. The BCCI were keen on a foreign name for the job, but failed to find someone in the required time.
