Great initiative by BCCI! Our spin bowling department needs this kind of specialized attention. Hope they find someone who can nurture young talents like how Kumble did for us back in the day. 🤞

The qualifications seem quite strict - only 75 FC matches? That rules out many talented coaches who might have played less but have excellent coaching credentials. Maybe they should consider coaching certifications more than playing experience.

About time! Our spinners have been struggling overseas. Hope this coach focuses not just on turning tracks but also teaches them how to bowl on flat pitches. The GPS and biomechanics part sounds really advanced!

Love that they're including women's cricket in this program too! 👏 Our women spinners could really benefit from this specialized coaching. Maybe we'll see more Poonam Yadavs in the future!

They should consider hiring someone like Murali Kartik or Pragyan Ojha - recent players who understand modern cricket. The game has changed so much, we need coaches who get the current demands.
