India's coaching setup is poised for a notable change ahead of the Sri Lanka tour, with a new fielding coach set to join. Following the departures of T Dilip and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, the BCCI has finalised a replacement for the fielding coach role.
Subhadeep Ghosh, a long-serving figure within Indian cricket's coaching corridors has taken over the specialist fielding brief.
Ghosh's candidacy rests on a lengthy body of work behind the scenes rather than a high playing profile. He steps into a role under fresh scrutiny after India's fielding lapses on recent tours, inheriting a unit whose standards have been questioned.

Who is Subhadeep Ghosh?
Ghosh is a former first-class cricketer from Guwahati who represented Assam and Railways during a modest playing career. Across 34 first-class and List A matches, he scored 623 runs with four half-centuries, a right-handed batter whose real calling would come after his playing days ended.
His coaching journey has been extensive and varied. As reported by regional outlets, Ghosh has served as a specialist fielding coach for close to a decade across levels, including first-class cricket, the National Cricket Academy, IPL franchise Delhi Daredevils in 2018, the India A side and the senior India women's team.

A World Cup winner behind the scenes
Ghosh's most recent triumph came earlier this year with the age-group set-up. He was the fielding coach when the India Under-19 team defeated England by 100 runs in Harare to claim a record-extending sixth title, a campaign he described as deeply satisfying after several previous World Cups spent on the losing side.
That pedigree, alongside spells sharing the support-staff bench with figures such as VVS Laxman and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, has built his reputation within the system. His familiarity with India's pipeline players offers a continuity that the selectors clearly value.

A pragmatic choice for a pressing problem
There is a quiet logic to turning inward for this appointment rather than chasing a marquee overseas name. Ghosh knows the domestic system intimately, has worked with many current and emerging players through the age groups and A teams, and arrives without the role-clarity complications that reportedly unsettled Ten Doeschate's tenure.
The timing, however, hands him an immediate test. India's fielding has slipped visibly, and a coach who has spent his career sharpening standards away from the spotlight will now be judged in it, with the Sri Lanka tour offering an early gauge of whether a familiar face can lift a unit that has recently fallen short.
