CHITTAGONG, May 17: Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore says he has had ‘positive discussions’ with Ravi Shastri, the Indian cricket manager, about the prospect of his taking the India job when his term with Bangladesh ends.
“I had a short discussion with Ravi about taking up the job of coaching India and I have spoken in the affirmative,” Whatmore told the Press Trust of India.
“The discussion centred round how interested I am. I am satisfied with the initial discussion. We are both satisfied. All I can say is I am ready for the challenge if the opportunity comes. I am ready to sink my teeth into the problems and find out a solution as the BCCI would want me to.”
Six high-ranking BCCI officials were scheduled to arrive here on Saturday to hold discussions with Whatmore.—Agencies
