Kumble named as new Indian head coach

DHAKA: India have appointed former captain and leg spinner Anil Kumble as their new head coach on a one-year deal.

Kumble, 45, has no international or first-class coaching experience but is India's leading Test wicket taker with 619 wickets in 132 games.

India have been without a head coach since Duncan Fletcher left the role after the 2015 World Cup.

Former team director Ravi Shastri has overseen India's recent World Twenty20 and Asia Cup campaigns.
