KP Bhaskar appointed Rajasthan coach

KP Bhaskar, the former Delhi captain, has been appointed coach of the Rajasthan team for the coming season. This follows the Rajasthan Cricket Association's decision to hire Greg Chappell as advisor to its Cricket of Excellence.

"I am in charge of the Ranji Trophy team but I would be assisting Greg," Bhaskar told the Hindu. "It is an honour to learn from such a great cricketer and I am sure the players would benefit immensely from his cricket wisdom."

Bhaskar, 44, was in the panel of match referees in the domestic circuit and played 95 first-class matches for Delhi and scored more than 5000 runs at an average of 52.84.
