Ready to coach Team India: Mohammad Azharuddin

Hyderabad: Mohammad Azharuddin would not bat an eyelid and jump at it straight away if he is given the opportunity to coach the Indian cricket team in the future, the former India captain has said.

"Yes, I am ready to give it a shot. If I get an opportunity to work with the Indian team, I would jump at it without batting an eyelid," Azharuddin told Gulf News in an interview.

Ravi Shastri is the current head coach of the Indian team and his contract runs till the T20 World Cup in 2021. Cricket is currently on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak and England is all set to host West Indies for a home Test series in July.

The three-Test series will mark the resumption of international cricket after the sport was suspended since March due to COVID-19 crisis.

Azharuddin wondered why too many 'support staff' travel with teams these days. IANS
