Following India's 3-1 Test series loss to England, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) cracked the whip on Tuesday by sidelining team coach Duncan Fletcher and asking the bowling and fielding coaches to go on leave.
It asked former Test cricketer and now commentator Ravi Shastri to assume charge of the team as director for the five match ODI series.
The five-match ODI series against England will get underway in Bristol from August 25.
The BCCI has relieved bowling coach Joe Dawes and fielding coach Trevor Penney off their duties for the one-day series and appointed Sanjay Bangar, former Indian all-rounder, and former India fast bowler Bharat Arun as assistant coaches of the team.
R. Sridhar will join the support team as the fielding coach of India for the one-day series.
