New Delhi, April 18: He may not have bagged the coach’s job with Kolkata Knight Riders this season but former India coach John Wright remains hopeful of getting a role with an Indian Premier League side in future.
Earlier this year, speculation was rife that the former New Zealand batsman would replace John Buchanan as KKR coach.
Wright too admitted that he had serious discussions with the Kolkata team management on the matter but eventually it did not materialise.
However, with two new teams ? Kochi and Pune — joining the IPL bandwagon from next year, Wright is keeping his fingers crossed.
“It would be an exciting challenge but who knows what will happen in future. I have coached India for five years and know the structure of the game here. I still miss the excitement which is associated with Indian cricket.
