Former India off-spinner and national selector Sarandeep Singh has been named the head coach of Delhi's senior cricket team for the upcoming domestic season. He was picked by the three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) of the state unit. The two assistant coaches, V Aravind as bowling coach and Bantu Singh as batting coach remained the same as last year. The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) has also added two mentors for the senior men's team: Atul Wassan for white ball matches and Robin Singh Junior for red ball matches. The women's team will be mentored by Reema Malhotra. Last year's coach, Devang Gandhi, who was popular with both the senior and junior teams, won't be coaching this season due to personal reasons and even didn’t apply for the role.

Senior DDCA official told PTI, "The apex council has approved Sarandeep's name for the head coach's post. His name was also there last year when Devang became coach. Bhaskar was the other candidate but he will be fitted in as one of three selectors," Sarandeep, 44, had played three Tests and five ODIs for India between 2000 and 2003. He was also a national selector for North Zone under MSK Prasad. Gursharan Singh, who as a player led Punjab to the state's only Ranji Trophy success, has been recommended for the chairman of the selection committee's post. Age is no bar in state cricket, though in the BCCI, the cut-off age for national selectors is kept at 60. Gursharan, at 61, has always been working with the DDCA as a junior coach, senior selector and sometimes with the selection committee also.
