BCCI CEO Rahul Johri in Jamaica to take feedback from Kohli and team 

BCCI CEO Rahul Johri has flown to Jamaica in order to meet skipper Virat Kohli and the team to get a feedback on the appointment of head coach. 

It is learnt that BCCI CEO was expected to have a detailed discussion with the men in blue ahead of their fifth and the final ODI against West Indies on July 6. As reported by PTI, a senior BCCI official working close to the development divulged,

"Yes, Rahul has left for Jamaica with permission of the Committee of Administrators (COA). He has been instructed with the task of getting feedback from the captain and the team. The team's feedback will then be passed to the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) to take all parameters into account." 

Recently, Kohli had stated that he and his side will only express their views on the appointment of a new coach if the BCCI asks for it. 

"From a personal point of view, I can't pinpoint anything or give details. We as a team, contrary to a lot of perceptions, only voice our opinions when asked by the BCCI for suggestions. So that is something we have always gone through as a process and that's something we respect as a team."

It is understood that the board is also on a sticky wicket with the criteria for the appointment of full-time manager of the Indian team. Sources have reported that COA wants former international and first-class players as manager but the administrative job requires a different skill set. Questioning the COA, the official added,

“The manager needs to hand out daily allowances, check if the team bus has come on time, players are getting the meal they want. They also have to arrange for tickets for the family and perform a lot of other clerical stuff. How do you expect a former player even if he has played -- say 75 Ranji matches to do these jobs."
