Andy Bichel appointed Chennai's bowling coach

Chennai Super Kings have appointed former Australia seamer Andy Bichel as their bowling coach, replacing Venkatesh Prasad who has moved to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchise. Bichel, 40, was Kolkata Knight Riders' bowling coach in the 2009 IPL, when the team finished bottom of the standings.

Chennai recently roped in New Zealand seamer Tim Southee into their squad. They continue to await news on the injured duo of Dwayne Bravo and Doug Bollinger, who both had to leave the World Cup midway.
