Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir, who had earlier flown back to India due to a family emergency, is now set to return to England. The head coach had rushed home after his mother suffered a heart attack and was hospitalised.
“His mother is doing well now. Gautam will leave tomorrow and join the squad the same day,” a BCCI source told PTI.
The 43-year-old missed the intra-squad match between India and India A. In his absence, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, and bowling coach Morne Morkel supervised the team’s preparations.
