Trevor Penny likely to take role as India’s fielding coach
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Afzaal-c94676 Penny, the former coach and cricketer, is likely to be appointed as fielding coach of India.
The newly appointed Chief Coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-Andrew-Gwynne-Fletcher-c54742, plans to make the Indian team rock-solid.
Despite the fact that Team India is ranked-first in Test and second in ODI rankigs of the world, many cricket experts believe that their fielding department is lacking.
The Men in Blue have been without a full-time fielding coach for the last couple of years and this has affected their fielding strategy and stamina to a great extent.
Possessing vast coaching experience, Penny has worked as a part timer with Fletcher in England and the two share good coordination.
Penny then joined http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-Masson-Moody-c93654 and played an important role there.
He also has experience with Indian conditions since he worked with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833.
As a player, Penny played for the English County side, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 national team.
Considering all his talents, Fletcher, who replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527 a month back, wants to bring Penny to India.
Gary resigned from his Indian job after bestowing World Cup glory on the Men in Blue.
According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) sources, Penny will join Team India for their upcoming tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Willey-c81951 begin from June 4, 2011.
Team India has become the first nation in the history of cricket to lift the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup trophy at home. Now the defending champions want to perpetuate this winning legacy in the future series and tournaments.
The appointment of Fletcher and Penny is a part of an effort to further build up the team on solid lines and make them invincible.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s bowling and batting departments are well-structured. Now the fielding side will also perk up after Penny’s appointment.
The 42-year-old Zimbabwean has enough experience and skills to share with the Blue shirts.
