Any of these 5 can replace Ravi Shastri as Team India coach

Mumbai: As Ravi Shastri's two-year term with the Indian cricket team comes to an end after the series against the West Indies, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking for possible replacements as head coach.

Last week the management has invited applications for the team support staff including the head coach. Interestingly, Ravi Shastri would have to reapply and secure his post.

The former commentator-turned coach is under the scanner and is facing severe criticisms after India from the World Cup after losing to New Zealand in the semifinal. He is unlikely to be given extension in this current situation.

According to sources, Former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur, Tom Moody who coached Sri Lanka, former England coach Trevor Bayliss, former Sri Lankan cricketer Mahela Jayawardene who lead IPL giant Mumbai Indians to title victory twice and former India coach Gary Kirsten are the five possible candidates who could replace Shastri.
