BCCI appoints Sairaj Bahutule as India spin bowling coach
BCCI names former India all-rounder Sairaj Bahutule as the new spin bowling coach for the men's team ahead of the Afghanistan series.
The BCCI has named former India all-rounder Sairaj Bahutule as the new spin bowling coach for the men's team. The appointment comes ahead of the home series against Afghanistan, and Bahutule will focus on spin development and match strategy.
His role spans bilateral tours and multi-team tournaments. Because he played at the top level, he knows exactly what spinners face when they step onto the international stage. The board wants him to shape both the senior side and the next generation coming through.
After Afghanistan, India stay at home, so the new setup gets tested straight away in familiar conditions.

The timing matters. With Afghanistan up next and more home series lined up, Bahutule steps in while India still need to find reliable spin options who can take wickets rather than just contain.
