The former India captain and the former BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly, has been the most common name that has been picked in the scheme of things to be a contender for the role of Indian cricket team head coach. He is currently relishing his maiden tournament as a head coach with the Pretoria Capitals in the SA20.
Former rival cricketers who have been foes on the field of cricket have turned friends as they turned to coaching in their careers after having retired from international cricket. Currently, among national setups, former NZ star Brendon McCullum coaches England alongside Marcus Trescothick, and Gautam Gambhir coaches alongside former South African pacer Morne Morkel.
In franchise cricket, such incidents are marked more commonly, as players from different parts of the world come under the same roof to lead the franchise teams in globally renowned leagues.
