Kirsten appointed Indian coach

---

Former South Africa batsman Gary Kirsten has agreed a two-year deal to coach India starting from next March.
He has signed despite some reservations about the attitude of the players, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed his role Wednesday.
"It will be a great honour to coach the game's most passionately supported team," said the 40-year-old Kirsten.
"I can't wait to take on what I know will be one of the biggest challenges of my ongoing career in cricket."
Kirsten, interviewed on 26 November, will join up with the India team for the last two Tests of their upcoming visit to Australia, which start on 16 and 24 January, reports BBC.
"I'll be with the team during the third and fourth Tests to facilitate the transition," he said.
"A plan will also be made for me to meet the Indian team before they leave for Australia on 17 December,” he added.
