Wright to continue as India coach for two months

John Wright will continue as India's coach for the next two months.

Top Board of Control for India (BCCI) sources told the Press Trust of India that the adhoc decision had been made to ensure Wright's availability for the forthcoming tri-nations tournament in Dhaka, involving India, South Africa and hosts Bangladesh.

When contacted at his home in Christchurch, Wright said that BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya had told him about the decision on Sunday. "I am quite happy with this arrangement and look forward to a successful campaign in Dhaka," he said.

The formal selection of the long-term Indian coach will, meanwhile, be made during the working committee meeting in two weeks' time.
