Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) mentor Zaheer Khan had expressed his interest in taking up a coaching job with the Indian cricket team if an opportunity comes in future. A winner of the 2011 ODI World Cup, the former Indian speedster retired from international cricket in 2015.
The left-arm seamer continued to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for two more years before hanging up his boots in 2017. Since his retirement, Zaheer Khan served as a bowling coach with Mumbai Indians before taking up a role of a mentor at LSG in 2024.
Speaking at an event in Kolkata ahead of their IPL 2025 clash with Kolkata Knight Riders, Zaheer Khan was asked if he would be up for a role in the senior Indian national team if offered.
“It would be an honour to coach Team India,” said the 46-year-old on Monday.
