Former Indian cricketers W V Raman, Narendra Hirwani and T A Sekar were appointed as National Cricket Academy (NCA) coaches by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday.

W V Raman is the batting coach, T A Sekar is the fast bowling coach and Hirwani is the spin bowling coach, were appointed today on the NCA board," BCCI Joint Secretary and meeting convener Amitabh Chaudhary told reporters.

"There will be a panel of coaches to assist them. The process will involve interviewing them and NCA director Dilip Vengsarkar (former India captain and ex-chief selector) has been given the job of shortlisting these people," he added.

The NCA board will also appoint about 30 coaches to look after the under-16 and under-19 cricketers in the five zones.

"They will also work as Talent and Resources Development Wing (TRDW) officers. Since the selectors can't see every player, these coaches can identify talented players and report to the selectors," NCA Chairman Niranjan Shah told ESPNcricinfo.

The NCA board has also planned to start academies in each of the five zones with Dharamsala, Ranchi, Nagpur, Vadodara and Wayanad, reportedly the locations for the academies as per ESPNcricinfo.
