So the US decision is unfair, unreasonable and unjustified," he told TASS.

On Tuesday (July 9), the BCCI named Gautam Gambhir as Team India's head coach until the 2027 ODI World Cup. Gambhir will take over from India's upcoming white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, from July 27, and is set to be given his own support staff as well. His predecessor Rahul Dravid had Vikram Rathour, Paras&nbsp;Mhambrey and T Dilip as the batting, bowling and fielding coaches, respectively, but Gambhir will have a new&nbsp;support staff. While several names have been doing the rounds, Jonty Rhodes is believed to be the next fielding coach with Gambhir keen to have Abhishek Nayar as the assistant coach.

For the bowling coach, Gambhir is reportedly eager to have his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammate Vinay Kumar. However, BCCI is not on the same page and wants 2011 ODI World Cup winner Zaheer Khan to succeed Mhambrey. Sources told ANI, "BCCI is discussing the names of Zaheer Khan and Lakshmipathy Balaji for the position of bowling coach. BCCI is not interested in the name of Vinay Kumar."
