'I hope to be going to Bangladesh' - Wright

India's disappointing run in both Tests and one-day internationals this season has increased speculation that a change of coach might be imminent, and John Wright, the current coach, did nothing to quash those rumours when speaking to reporters in Kolkata before India's second Test against South Africa.

"I hope to be going to Bangladesh," was all that Wright offered when asked about his future. "These kind of rumours gain ground when your team is not performing to its potential. I have had my chats with Mr Dalmiya about my stay and other stuff. But the BCCI itself is in a limbo. So you have to wait."

There were hints, though, that a change might be in the offing. "After four years as coach, I feel that it is very important for a team to be moving forward. I want to see the team constantly improving. If at any point of time I feel that I am not achieving anything for the team, then someone else can come forward and take my place."

Looking ahead to the second Test against South Africa, Wright indicated that the Indians could opt to go in with more balanced attack for the match. "We may play two medium pacers and two spinners. But that decision will be taken on the morning of the Test after consultations with the selectors and the captain." If India do opt for two spinners, Murali Kartik is likely to miss out, while Irfan Pathan will come in to replace him.
