As per Anshuman Gaekwad, a member of the Cricket Advisory Committee of Indian cricket, Ravi Shastri may get an extension of his tenure as India coach. He believes Shastri has done quite well for India as per the results and besides the head coach position all the other coaching positions are open for discussion, Gaekwad said.

"Speaking purely from the results perspective, he has done quite well. So, besides Ravi, all other positions, in my opinion, are open depending on who is applying, their credentials and whether they meet the criteria of the BCCI," Anshuman Gaekwad commented on Mid-Day.

After the World Cup BCCI posted invited applicants for the coaching staff for the Indian cricket. The last day of application is 30 July. And BCCI is likely to set up an interview for the candidates on August 13 and 14. Good news for Shastri is that so far only Robin Singh has submitted the application for the post of head coach. 

Former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson too could be an applicant for the head coach role. Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes has applied for the post of fielding coach. However, Rhodes will have to ward off stiff competition from incumbent R Sridhar, who has done a good job with the India fielding unit.
