Kotak, who has been part of the India A setup earlier, will be the batting coach while Bali and Bahutule, who were part of the victorious U-19 World Cup campaign in the Caribbean earlier this year, have been handed the fielding and bowling duties. The trio have already joined the squad currently playing South Africa at home.
“After the senior support staff departs for the England tour, Bali, Bahutule, and Kotak will take over the duties for the remaining T20 against South Africa in Rajkot and Bengaluru. They have already been with the limited-overs squad for a while and by the time the senior support staff leaves for England, they will be ready for the task,” a BCCI official told PTI.
