Former India captain Anil Kumble has applied for the India head-coach position advertised by the BCCI recently, ESPNcricinfo understands. The deadlines for the applications closed on June 10 and on Sunday the BCCI announced that a total of 57 applications from both Indian and overseas candidates had been received.

After Ravi Shastri and India’s current chairman of selectors Sandeep Patil, Kumble is the third high-profile applicant for the job, which became vacant after the previous coaching staff’s tenures expired at the end of the World T20. Although Kumble has no coaching experience at any level, he has been a mentor in the IPL, initially with Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he was the captain in 2009 when the franchise finished as runners-up. Later, Kumble served as a mentor at Mumbai Indians.

Ajay Shirke, the BCCI secretary, will cull the long list. The shortlisted names are likely to be passed to an advisory panel, comprising former players, which will trim it further. The final decision on who is the next India coach will be taken by the BCCI top brass, and it is likely the new coach will be announced at the BCCI working committee meeting in Dharamsala on June 25.

Last month Anurag Thakur, after taking over as BCCI president, had indicated that a new coach will be appointed by the time India leave for the Caribbean for a fourth-Test tour in July-August.
