Hope Ryan and Abhishek can have a successful stint. Hopefully, we can have a successful tenure as coaches. I am really looking forward to working with the rest of the other guys as well. I have had some really good feedback from the players about the other guys. I am really looking forward to working with them,” Gambhir said in the Press Conference.
With the team Abhishek Nayar, Sairaj Bahutule and T Dilip will travel with Gambhir. On the other and, Ryan Ten Doeschate would join the team in Colombo. After his press conference, the T20I squad along with the support staff departed for Sri Lanka.
“This is going to be the crux of the support staff. As I said, we still have one month after the Sri Lanka tour. We will try and finalise after the Sri Lanka tour. They (BCCI) have agreed to most of the things I have asked for. I am really surprised when I was reading all those news. Abhishek, as assistant coach, Ryan, as assistant coach. Abhishek is there, Sairaj Bahutule is there, Dilip is there and Ryan ten Doeschate is going to join in Colombo.” Gambhir concluded.
