India have appointed the former captain Ravi Shastri as director of cricket for the one-day series against England as part of a coaching shake-up following the 3-1 Test series defeat to the same opponents.
Duncan Fletcher remains as head coach but Shastri, who played 80 Tests and 150 ODIs between 1981 and 1992, has been placed “overall in-charge of cricket affairs of the Indian team”.
Sanjay Patel, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s honorary secretary, said: “In their continuing efforts to re-energise the support to the team, the BCCI has given a break to the bowling coach, Mr Joe Dawes, and the fielding coach, Mr Trevor Penney, for the one-day series and appointed Mr Sanjay Bangar, a former Indian all-rounder, and the former India fast bowler Mr Bharat Arun as the assistant coaches of the team.
“Mr R Sridhar will join the support team as the fielding coach for the one-day series.”
