Ford wins the battle Graham Ford of South Africa has been selected as India's new cricket coach, the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced on Saturday. 
A seven-member board panel picked Ford over Englishman John Emburey, the only other candidate for one of the most high-profile jobs in cricket, after closed-door interviews in Chennai.
"The panel decided to appoint Ford initially for a period of one year," the board's treasurer, N. Srinivasan, told reporters.
"He will let us know by next week when he can join us," he added.
Ford's first major assignment with the Indian team will be three one-day internationals against South Africa in Belfast, Northern Ireland in June ahead of a full Test tour of England from July. |
