“Kirsten was the top choice for the BCCI ad-hoc selection committee but Raman got the job as the South African was not keen on giving up his plum job with IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore,” the official said, stating the reason for not selecting Gary Kirsten as the coach.

The panel had recommended three names — Kirsten, Raman and Venkatesh Prasad in order of preference — to the Board, PTI reports. Eventually, the BCCI picked Raman for the job.
