Former Australia batsman Stuart Law shows interest to coach Team India

FORMER AUSTRALIA BATSMAN STUART LAW expressed his desire to coach Team India after his contract with the Cricket Australia (CA) expires. The Aussie veteran has been signed by CA as a batting consultant for the tour to Sri Lanka from July to September. 

As reported by Deccan Chronicle, Law, who is currently busy shaping his squad for the upcoming tour said,

"I am open to offers from teams regarding positions to be filled, it’ll just have to wait until my contract finishes with CA."

The 47-year-old said that he would love to take over the vacant head coach position in the Indian cricket team.

"I was in India for the A Team tour with Australia and was asked the question then about the vacant head coach position in India, the answer is still the same. I would love to work within the Indian cricket team. But only after my contract expires with CA. To be able to see from close quarters how these guys prepare and think about the game would be of great interest. India play an exciting brand of cricket and that is how we like to play our cricket here in Australia."

The Aussie stalwart, who recently turned down the Pakistan Cricket board (PCB) in their hunt for a new coach acknowledged the offer and clarified his unavailability for the role.

"I am flattered by the PCB for thinking of me so highly as a coach to fill the vacant head coach position. As a consultant coach at the moment, I have just signed a contract with CA to tour Sri Lanka as a batting coach with the men’s national team and this will end on the 25th August unless I am asked to do further work within the Australian set up. This will impact my availability to take up another role before this".
