The Story in Brief
Subhadeep Ghosh will begin his first assignment as India’s senior men’s fielding coach when the team faces Sri Lanka in a two-Test series starting in Galle on August 15. The 57-year-old from Digboi is the first coach from Assam to join India’s senior men’s setup. He replaces T Dilip.
Ghosh played 17 first-class and 17 List A matches for Assam and Railways between 1994-95 and 2004-05. As a coach, he has worked with the National Cricket Academy, the BCCI Centre of Excellence, India A, India Under-19, the women’s team and IPL sides including Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals. His India Under-19 work included the 2024 World Cup in South Africa.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is either that Ghosh’s appointment is a symbolic victory for Assam or that a fielding coach can transform India overnight. Neither claim is fair. His varied work across age-group, women’s and franchise cricket gives him relevant experience, but the job will be judged in pressure moments, not by reputation. Slip catches, throwing errors and missed run-out chances during the Sri Lanka Tests will provide the clearest early measure of his impact.
