Duncan Fletcher, the former England coach and former Zimbabwe captain, will replace Gary Kirsten as India's coach. The BCCI's Working Committee met in Mumbai on Wednesday and took the decision, in addition to continuing Eric Simons' tenure as the team's bowling coach.
To start with, Fletcher will be on a two-year contract. Fletcher was in charge of the England team when they beat Australia in 2005 to win the Ashes for the first time since 1986-87, and was credited with turning around England's fortunes in Tests, first with Nasser Hussain and then with Michael Vaughan.
However, Fletcher, who coached England for eight years, was unable to revive their ODI form and his tenure reached its lowest ebb during a 0-5 drubbing in Australia in 2006-07. Following a disappointing 2007 World Cup campaign, Fletcher resigned, before joining New Zealand as a consultant during their tour of India last year.
