Cricket Advisory Committee member and former India captain Sourav Ganguly said Ravi Shastri was offered Team India's batting coach's role.
Yes, we offered Ravi the Indian team's batting coach post, Ganguly was quoted as saying by Mid-Day.
Shastri and Ganguly were at loggerheads during the last few weeks over the selection process of Team India's head coach.
Shastri was openly critical of a 'disrespectful' Ganguly, who missed his interview after opting to attend a meeting concerning the Cricket Association of Bengal but Ganguly was quick to response and said Shastri should have been present in person and not have been holidaying in Bangkok when the interview was taking place.
He also clarified CAC members Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman will have no role in appointing Team India's assistant coaches and said they had left the decision to Kumble.
"It is Anil's prerogative. Since he is a bowler, maybe, he did not appoint a bowling coach. I also have read in the newspapers that he may rope in pace bowling coach later. Let me stress that Sachin and Laxman have no role in appointing Anil's assistant coaches," he said.
