Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India senior men’s selector Sarandeep Singh has been appointed as chief coach of the senior men's Delhi team for the upcoming domestic season, said the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Friday.

Sarandeep, who played three Tests and five ODIs for India from 2000 to 2003, replaces his former 2016-2020 national selection committee colleague Devang Gandhi in the top job of the Delhi team. V Arvind and Bantu Singh have retained their bowling and batting coach roles respectively, while Kuldeep Rawat is the new fielding coach of the senior team.

The challenge for new head coach Sarandeep will be to get Delhi back to being a formidable unit after an unpleasant last season. The side, who lost Nitish Rana and Dhruv Shorey to Uttar Pradesh and Vidarbha respectively, were also plagued by injuries to various fast bowlers.
