Former skipper Chandu Borde chosen as manager

NEW DELHI, June 12 (AP): Former captain Chandu Borde was chosen Tuesday as manager of the Indian cricket team for its upcoming tour of Ireland and England, the CNN-IBN television news channel said.
Borde's unexpected appointment came during a meeting of the Indian cricket board's working committee to discuss the situation following South African Graham Ford's decision to decline its offer to coach the Indian team.
A formal announcement was expected later Tuesday.
"I am happy," Borde told CNN-IBN.
Asked about his plans for the Indian team, he said: "Let me get the official confirmation first." Borde will replace Ravi Shastri as manager.
It was not immediately clear whether Borde, 73, would also have to carry out coaching duties in case the board is unable to name a full-time coach to replace Australia's Greg Chappell.
India is scheduled to play three one-day matches against South Africa and one-off games against Ireland and Pakistan in Belfast and Glasgow between June 23 and July 3 before starting a full tour of England in mid-July.
