New India coach to be announced by EOD: Ganguly.

Two members of the three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman have reached the BCCI headquarters and the meeting to decide Indian cricket team's next coach is underway.





Ganguly and Laxman will be present at the headquarters of the BCCI while Tendulkar, the third member, will be joining his colleagues on Skype from the United Kingdom. Ganguly, speaking to TIMES NOW, stated that the announcement of India's new coach will be made by today evening (10th July).

 CAC will finalise the new India coach from seven applicants who have applied for the post and former India players Ravi Shastri and Virender Sehwag and Australian Tom Moody are the front-runners for the job. Speaking to channel, Shastri, had said that he hopes there won't be any petty issues at the last minute.



Shastri, who had earlier served as the Team Director for the Indian cricket team before Anil Kumble became the coach, had decided not to apply for the position this time after the way he was "treated" last year. He agreed to send across his CV to the CAC after Tendulkar convinced him to do so and even since the former India international threw his hat in the ring, he has been the favourite to get the job, owing to his cordial relationship with current India captain Virat Kohli.



Former coach Kumble had stepped down amid controversial circumstances after a widely-speculated feud with Kohli, marking a bitter end to a highly successful tenure. Kumble's decision comes in the wake of reports claiming rifts between him and Kohli, and just two days after India's embarrassing loss to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final. It was only the CAC which had picked Kumble as the coach last year.

The team did well under Kumble in the past 12 months, winning Test series in the West Indies (2-0) before winning at home against New Zealand (3-0), England (4-0), Bangladesh (1- 0) and Australia (2-1).

Model Sonika Chauhan death case: Actor Vikram Chatterjee arrested by Kolkata Police.

KOLKATA: A special police team of south division arrested actor Vikram Chatterjee in a sudden midnight raid in the wee hours of Friday morning.





Chatterjee, claimed police sources, had been "absconding" and trying to hide facts leading to his arrest. This was after police added the stringent culpable homicide not amounting to murder case against the actor for allegedly driving in a reckless manner leading to the death of model Sonika Singh Chauhan in the last week of April.





Various forensic reports along with the mechanical report had suggested Vikram was driving at a very high speed seconds before the accident.

"Today at about 0015 hours on receipt of information about movement of Vikram Chatterjee, officers and force held raid and intercepted the accused in a cab just before Acropolis Mall on Rashbehari Avenue Connector. After following necessary procedure, he will be produced before court," said joint CP (crime) Vishal Garg. He however refused to ascertain why the arrest was carried out stating it was "part of investigation". This has led Vikram's friends to wonder if cops were trying to "divert attention from real issues" by carrying out this surprise arrest.



Ever since Sonika's death there has been pressure on police from both sides for a fair probe with commissioner Rajeev Kumar himself monitoring the probe and asking his officers to be neutral.

Vikarm's anticipatory bail plea hearing was scheduled to be heard at Kolkata HC on July 12 or 13.
