Mumbai: Other team staff were also selected after the selection of the head coach. The batting coach was replaced as per the requirements. Vikram Rathore replaced Sanjay Bangar as the team's new batting coach. During the interview, Bangar was unable to answer the questions. So there was speculation that he was bound to go. However, there was no change in the bowling and fielding coaches.

Bharat Arun and R Sridhar were allowed to continue in their posts on both the posts. The Senior National Selection Committee, led by MSK Prasad, had recommended three names for these three posts of support staff and the apex bench of the three categories will be appointed to their posts after completion of the formalities of conflict of interest.

The 50-year-old Rathore played six Test matches and seven ODIs for India in 1996, but he did not get much success. But, from Punjab, he was very successful in domestic cricket. Rathore was a member of the Senior National Selection Committee led by Sandeep Patil a few years ago (2016). "Vikram Rathore has enough experience and we trust his skills," said BCCI CEO Rahul Johri. If there is any conflict of interest with them, we will ask them to declare it. As per the recommendations of the Selection Committee, current batting coach Sanjay Bangar finished second and former England batsman Mark Ram Prakash third. "Team management had its own approach, but going forward, we felt that some new faces were needed in the support staff. '
