BCCI president Anurag Thakur told NDTV that India can afford to have the best head coach. Thakur said it has left it to the wisdom of the Cricket Advisory Committee to pick the head coach of the senior national side. Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman are part of the advisory panel. Thakur said it did not matter if the coach was an Indian or a foreigner as long he was the best.
