The BCCI Chief Executive Officer Rahul Johri will be in Jamaica to meet Indian captain Virat Kohli and his team, in an attempt to get a feedback on the appointment of the new head coach.
"Yes, Rahul has left for Jamaica with permission of the Committee of Administrators. He has been instructed with the task of getting feedback from the captain and the team. The team's feedback will then be passed to the Cricket Advisory Committee to take all parameters into account," said a BCCI official.
The move is perceived by many as BCCI and CoA's method of trying to gauge the mood of the team as they don't want any discord over new appointee. A few days ago, Kohli had said that he will only air his view if the BCCI asks for it.
On a different note, it was also learnt that former medium pacer Venkatesh Prasad has not applied for chief coach's post, contrary to popular belief.
"Venkatesh Prasad's CV is not there among those who have applied for the coach's post. He is working as the chairman of selectors with the junior team. We don't know who spread the news. Venky on his part never confirmed that he has applied for the job," said the source.
