The Indian board has said that the new manager and coach for the team will be appointed for a period of two years and that the process of selection would begin after the World Cup ends.

A seven-member committee was set up by the board yesterday for the particular purpose of recommending candidates to the board after the World Cup. "We have formed a panel under board president Sharad Pawar with three former captains [Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and S Venkataraghavan] and office bearers," Niranjan Shah, the BCCI secretary, told NDTV, a 24-hour news channel in India.

Though Dav Whatmore, the Bangladesh coach, and Tom Moody, the Sri Lanka coach, are reported to be favourites for the coaching job Shah said that it wouldn't be right to check on anybody till the World Cup was over.

Shortly after the World Cup ends India will travel to Bangladesh for two Tests and three ODIs with Ravi Shastri as the side's cricket manager for the tour.
