Internet Desk: The BCCI is all set to appoint professional managers for the Indian cricket team for the upcoming tours. It is learnt that the board will start their advertisement regarding this in a couple of week’s time. According to the BCCI sources, the parent body of Indian cricket want to stop the method of pleasing the members of state associations who are sent with the team during the foreign tour as managers. If the rumours are to be believed the CoA is unhappy with the policy of BCCI office bearers touring and submitting reports. The current situation arose after the recent controversy regarding Anil Kumble’s step down where the team manager didn’t mention anything regarding Kumble-Kohli rift. Though, Kumble did mention in his resignation that the BCCI told him that Kohli was not happy with his "style of coaching". "Kapil Malhotra has submitted his report. At least there is nothing in the report which suggests that skipper Virat Kohli was ever rude to the coach or mention of any incident which could be termed as a breach of discipline," a BCCI source was quoted as saying earlier. If reports are to be believed, CoA members are unhappy with fellow member Diana Edulji's ways of functioning as well as her demands, one of them being inclusion of former India coach Anil Kumble to the CoA panel.
