Ever since Greg left us, the Indian team has been doing well in the absence of a foreign coach. Lalchand Rajput has done a reasonably good job and appears to have developed good rapport with both the seniors and juniors in the team. The team has done well as a cohesive unit. Under the circumstances, appointing a foreign coach is totally unwarranted. To top it, giving him all the assurances as he demands is not only totally nonsensical but also undeserving. It is for him to command respect. Respect cannot be demanded.
