"It is a very welcome change to start with - Let A, B, C or D be the incharge of cricket operations or as a head coach or a bowling coach or any. The whole thing depends on the captain and his team to perform," Kirmani told reporters here. Kirmani even pointed out that India won the 1983 World Cup without the services of a coach or a director.
