It is learnt that erstwhile India captains Ravi Shastri and Anil Kumble will be interviewed for the post here today alongwith Australian Tom Moody, who has coached Sri Lanka and Indian Premier League franchises Kings XI Punjab and more recently, Indian Premier League 2016 champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Patil (59) has not been called to Kolkata. "At the moment, I have not been called for an interview. I thought I had the right credentials hence I applied for the post. I have no regrets and I am not unhappy," Patil said yesterday.

Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, who are part of the three-man Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), are expected to interview Shastri, Kumble and Moody at the Taj Bengal from 1:30 pm. It is learnt that Tendulkar and Shastri are not in India (Tendulkar in London; Shastri in an Asian country) and will be available via video conference.
