Player: | SM Patil |
DateLine: 15th October 2009
Former India star Sandeep Patil will take over as Director of Cricket Operations of the National Cricket Academy, replacing Dav Whatmore.
 
Patil, a member of the 1983 World Cup winning squad, will take over charge wef November 1, a BCCI release said on Wednesday. 
55-year-old Whatmore, a former Australian batsman who took over charge as NCA Director of Operations two years back, is widely believed to succeed John Buchanan as the coach of Kolkata Knight Riders after putting down his papers a couple of days ago. 
KKR have been looking for a coach since sacking Buchanan after the Kolkata side's disastrous outing in the second edition of the Indian Premier League in South Africa. 
Whatmore, who enjoyed a short stint as a player with Australia, is more renowned for his coaching abilities rather than his cricketing skills. 
He coached Sri Lanka to the 1996 World Cup title and then India to their under-19 World Cup triumph in Kuala Lumpur last year.LATEST SCORES
