Hyderabad, July 19: Legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev today said that he has no plans to take up any assignment with the Indian Cricket Board. "I'm happy with whatever I'm doing now and have no plans to undertake any assignment with BCCI," Kapil Dev, who was here for a promotional programme of a TV channel, told reporters in an informal chat here.
Kapil Dev said that he felt foreign coaches could face a communication problem while coaching Indian players and the language barrier should be kept in mind while appointing coaches "as that would help a lot".
"Foreign coaches are at a disadvantage when it comes to conversing freely with the players and giving tips," Kapil said.
Admitting that the team needs a couple of good all rounders to become a formidable one, Kapil Dev said, "Quality all-rounders are a must for any team and their inclusion makes all the difference".
When asked about the entry of women anchors and commentators in cricket, Kapil Dev said, "It's a positive sign and an encouraging one too. This trend could popularise the game even more," he added.
