New Delhi, April 27: Duncan Fletcher’s appointment as India’s cricket coach was seen as a move in the right direction by former cricketers and coaches who said the Zimbabwean’s vast experience in coaching will hold him in good stead during his two-year stint.
The BCCI today appointed the 62-year-old Fletcher, who coached England from 1999 to 2007 with mixed results, as Gary Kirsten’s replacement on a two-year term.
“He’s obviously got a pretty good track record on the international and county circuits, and he’s got a pretty wide range of coaching experience,” said former Australia coach John Buchanan.
