Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sharad Pawar says Team India should have a new coach in a month's time.

He was addressing the media after a meeting with members of the Karnataka State Cricket Association on Friday.

He emphasised that hiring a coach is top priority for the BCCI and it has written to the cricket boards of Australia, England, West Indies and New Zealand asking them to suggest names of good coaches.

Once a shortlist of candidates for the job is in place, he said, the BCCI will zero down on one and appoint him.

Talking about the jellybeans controversy, Pawar said the issue must best be forgotten. He however added that the ICC board will be meeting in Dubai on August 4 and the issue is likely to come up for discussion.

On the performances of bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad and fielding coach Robin, he said the board is happy, as the duo have made a difference to the team and the players too are happy with them.

Thus, it has been decided to continue with their services for another year, he added.
