Subhadeep Ghosh named India’s fielding coach ahead of Sri Lanka Tests

Subhadeep Ghosh has been appointed as Team India’s fielding coach, taking over from T Dilip. His first assignment in the role will be the upcoming Sri Lanka Test series.

T Dilip’s contract with the national side concluded after the England tour, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India has moved to fill the post with Ghosh. Prior to this appointment, Ghosh worked at the National Cricket Academy and had engagements with various Indian teams. His resume also includes periods with the Indian women's team as well as with IPL franchises.

Ghosh’s association with the National Cricket Academy is part of a broader coaching profile that the BCCI has drawn on for the senior side. The description of his past roles lists the National Cricket Academy alongside work with various Indian teams, indicating a background within the national coaching ecosystem. The appointment continues the board’s practice of promoting coaches who have operated inside its development structures.

The change in personnel follows the end of T Dilip’s contract after the England tour, creating an opening that the selectors and management have now filled. T Dilip, the outgoing fielding coach, departs with his contract completed; the transition to Ghosh is effective for the next phase of India’s international schedule. The swap restores a continuity of coaching staff ahead of the forthcoming Test assignment in Sri Lanka.

Ghosh’s prior stints with the Indian women's team and with IPL franchises form part of the experience package cited in the announcement. Those roles are noted alongside his National Cricket Academy work and contributions to various Indian teams, forming the basis for his selection. The blend of domestic academy work and franchise exposure is highlighted in the summary of his career.

With the formal change now announced, Subhadeep Ghosh will assume fielding coach duties when the squad convenes for the Sri Lanka Test series. The appointment represents a direct replacement for T Dilip and places Ghosh at the centre of India’s fielding preparation for that tour.
