“The former leg-spinner (Bahutule) will coach Gujarat for the forthcoming season,” Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) vice president Parimal Nathwani told. Former India leg-spinner Sairaj Bahutule has been named as the coach of the Gujarat team, an official said. The 46 year old Sairaj, has coached teams like Bengal in the past.
According to Nathwani, GCA in the past relied on “local coaches” for its Ranji Trophy side, but now it has roped in Bahutule to strengthen the team. “The GCA wanted an experienced hand (to guide players in) domestic cricket tournaments and needed a coach who could communicate with a young team,” he said. The association deemed Bahutule fit for the job and hence, approached him, Nathwani said.
