"Kirsten was the first choice of the BCCI ad hoc selection committee, but Raman got the job because the South African did not want to give up his prune. "He could not be convinced to choose between IPL and the national team," said a BCCI official at PTI.
The selection committee consisted of former captain Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy.
The committee recommended to the Council three names – Kirsten, Raman and Venkatesh Prasad (in order of preference) -, a reliable source said. Finally, BCCI chose Raman for the job.
The appointment was made despite the division of the Committee of Administrators (COA) on the issue. Diana Edulji asked President Vinod Rai to suspend the selection process. The BCCI treasurer, Anirudh Chaudhry, also asked about the process followed, which had received the approval of Rai and not that of Edulji.
Raman, who has played 11 tries and 27 ODI, is now one of the country's most skilled coaches. He has coached major Ranji Trophy teams like Tamil Nadu and Bengal, and has also played as a team with the Indian U19 team.
Raman is best remembered as the first Indian to have made a century in South Africa during his tour from 1992 to 1993.
In addition to Kirsten, Raman and Prasad, the other candidates selected from the 28 candidates interviewed were Manoj Prabhakar, Trent Johnston, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Brad Hogg and Kalpana Venkatachar.
Kirsten was interviewed via Skype with four other people, while an interview was conducted by phone. Raman, Manoj Prabhakar and outgoing President Ramesh Powar appeared in person.
Kirsten, who had led India's men's team to the triumph of the 2011 World Cup, was the number one choice, but had to give up her role at RCB to avoid a conflict. Potential interests. BCCI CEO Rahul Johri even spoke to Kirsten and RCB representatives but could not reach an agreement.
"According to Gary, the training of a national women's team could constitute a conflict of interest while being at the head of a male team of the IPL. This being said, Raman is a good choice because the team needs Prasad was number three in the hierarchy, "said a BCCI official.
The panel also made it clear to Kirsten that he should separate from RCB to badume the role of the national team.
"In practice, there is no conflict of interest, but if you stick to the book, it would have opened the pandora box." Tomorrow, Ravi Shastri (the coach men from India) would require that he be allowed to comment on the IPL and Rahul Dravid (India A coach) might request that he be allowed to sponsor an IPL franchise, "added the manager. .
Kirsten was head coach of the Indian team for three years, from 2008 to 2011. He then coached South Africa from 2011 to 2013. He is currently the head coach of the RCB in the Indian Premier League.
The BCCI has invited new candidates for the post after Powar's brief stint as an interim coach at the end of last month, in rather controversial circumstances.
The COA appointed by the Supreme Court is divided on the process of selection of coaches since the invitation of new nominations.
While Edulji wanted Powar to continue at least until the New Zealand tour starting next month, Rai asked BCCI senior management to invite new nominations.
Powar's controversial mandate came to an end on November 30, after a bitter battle with ODI captain and senior player, Mithali Raj, about selection problems at the World Cup.
Powar decided to reapply after the T20 captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, and his deputy, Smriti Mandhana, were very supportive of the former Indian spinner.
