Team India trainer Nick Webb decides to leave after T20 World Cup

Indian players are currently playing in the IPL and are preparing for the T20 World Cup in UAE. India head coach Ravi Shastri’s tenure will end with the completion of the tournament. Now, the trainer of the team, Nick Webb has announced that he will not extend the contract post-T20 World Cup and will part ways with the Indian team. With Webb’s decision to resign, a shuffle in the support staff is expected as bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar are also expected to leave. Webb informed about his decision through a social media post, saying that he has informed the BCCI that he doesn’t want a contract extension. 

"This has not been an easy decision. But ultimately I must put my family first. The current Covid restrictions for the New Zealand citizens wanting to enter the country is the primary reason. While these restrictions may ease in the future, the uncertainty of this happening moving forward along with potential 5-8 months stint at a time away from my family has made it unsustainable for me past the T20 World Cup," he further explained.
