Greg King, the Indian team's trainer, has informed the BCCI that he does not wish to continue with the job after the completion of the tour of Australia, a day after physio John Gloster expressed the
same intent.
"He [King] has said that he will not continue [as the Indian team's trainer] after this tour [of Australia], citing personal reasons," Niranjan Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, told Cricinfo.
King has been involved with the Indian team since August, 2003, when he took over from Adrian Le Roux, and was contracted with the board till December, 2007, but had decided on making the trip to Australia.
Prior to his stint with the Indian team, King, who is a post-graduate in Human Kinetics and Ergonomics, was a fitness trainer with the Border squad in South Africa.
King and Gloster's exits mean that the board will have to fill two vacancies in the support staff when Gary Kirsten takes over as coach on March 1.
