The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today invited applications for the head coach&#39;s role on Thursday but will also consider a contract extension for incumbent Anil Kumble.

The development comes as Kumble&#39;s contract expires in end-June. The BCCI has decided to conduct the process in line with the Lodha committee recommendations which stipulated &quot;transparency&quot; in selection process related to the team.

&quot;The process has been initiated since the term of the current coach Mr Anil Kumble concludes with the (June 1-18) Champions Trophy,&quot; BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary said in a statement.

&quot;Present head coach Mr Anil Kumble will be a direct entry for the process,&quot; he added.

A court-appointed committee of administrators currently supervises the running of the board&#39;s operation and one of them will oversee the recruitment to ensure &quot;a fair and completely transparent process&quot;, the board said.

BCCI have invited applications but it would be a surprise if the former leg-spinner does not get an extension from the board&#39;s Cricket Advisory Committee comprising his former teammates Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.

Former India captain Kumble was put in charge last June despite having never coached a team and India but the side has recorded just one defeat in 17 tests since he took over.
