ACA congratulates Assam's Subhadeep Ghosh on his appointment as India's fielding coach
Guwahati, August 3
The Assam Cricket Association extends its heartfelt congratulations to Subhadeep Ghosh on his appointment as the Fielding Coach of the Indian Senior Men's Cricket Team.
Ghosh has replaced T Dilip as the fielding coach of the India men's cricket team.
The 57-year-old previously served as the fielding coach of the India women's team for two years, during which he was part of the support staff for the 2022 Women's ODI World Cup and the 2023 Women's T20 World Cup.
Ghosh has also worked with India A and served as head coach of Assam's senior men's team.
As a player, Ghosh was a right-handed batter who represented Assam and Railways. He featured in 17 first-class matches and 17 List A games during his domestic career.
His first assignment with the senior men's team will be India's two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in August.
India will begin their two-Test series against Sri Lanka on August 15 in Galle, with the second Test scheduled for August 23 at the SSC in Colombo.
Before the series gets underway, the visitors will play a three-day practice match in Colombo from August 7.
Assam Cricket Association takes immense pride in this significant achievement by one of Assam's own. His appointment is a moment of great honour for the state's cricketing fraternity and serves as an inspiration for aspiring cricketers and coaches across the region.

T Dilip had done an excellent job with the fielding unit, especially during the T20 World Cup. Big shoes to fill. Hope Ghosh can maintain the same standards. His experience with the women's team will definitely help.
Finally someone from the northeast gets a prominent role! This will inspire so many young cricketers in Assam and neighbouring states. Congratulations Subhadeep sir! 🌟
Interesting choice by BCCI. The women's team fielding improved noticeably during his tenure. But international men's cricket is a different level altogether. Let's see how he adapts. The Sri Lanka series will be a good test.
Good to see BCCI looking beyond the usual names from big cities. Fielding is such a crucial aspect in modern cricket, and I hope Ghosh brings fresh ideas. Also great that Assam Cricket Association is celebrating this achievement so proudly.
Seems like a reasonable appointment given his track record with India A and the women's team. But I do wonder why the constant churn in support staff. Sometimes you need continuity. Nevertheless, all the best to him for the Sri Lanka series.
Subhadeep Ghosh has patiently climbed
