Kumble steps down as Indian cricket team's head coach

June 20 (CRICKETNMORE) - Legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble has reportedly decided to step down as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. According to reports, Kumble, stayed back in England instead of travelling with the team for their next assignment in the West Indies.

The Indian team on Tuesday left for the West Indies, where they play five One-day Internationals (ODI) and a solitary T20 International.

Earlier, reports of a rift between skipper Virat Kohli and Kumble had emerged, prompting the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to advertise for the post of head coach just before the team landed in England for the Champions Trophy.

India reached to No.1 Test team under the tenure of Anil Kumble this year winning successive series against West Indies, New Zealand, England and Australia.
