“Yes, Anil Kumble’s contract as the chief coach will end with India’s campaign in the Champions Trophy. Obviously, there is every possibility that it will be up for renewal but that will only be decided by the general body after the tournament gets over,” a senior BCCI functionary told.
Batting coach Sanjay Bangar and fielding coach R Sridhar have also been retained for the Champions Trophy. It was also learnt that any decision regarding Kumble’s appointment will need to be vetted by the Committee of Administrators (COA).
