Gary Kirsten’s appointment not unanimously accepted? MIL/Reuters/Agencies, Dec 5, 2007. IR Summary New Delhi, India: December 5, 2007 – Though official announcement confirms that former South Africa batting stalwart Gary Kirsten has been appointed as a new coach for Indian Cricket team, most of the former Indian cricket players are opposed to it, they are unhappy over this choice for various reasons. Kirsten is 40, a productive scorer, who played 101 tests until his retirement in 2004, has accepted the offer extended to him for a term of two years as a coach. He would succeed former Australia skipper Greg Chappell, who quit after 18 months following India's shock first-round exit from the one-day World Cup. Most of the former cricket players and even present players do not want to be identified for their difference of opinion but they definitely have some reservations about Gary’s appointment as coach of the Indian Cricket national team. Chetan’s intrerview to Reuters: "It's going to be a big challenge for him," Chauhan told Reuters. "But with his playing experience, he should manage. "The only thing is egos should not clash," he said. "At this level the main thing is motivating players. He should become a friend, philosopher and guide to them." Kirsten should also avoid any repeat of controversies that marked Chappell's tenure. "Chappell was a typical Aussie, too blunt, he made a few mistakes," Chauhan said. http://uk.reuters.com/article/cricketNews/idUKDEL162720071205
