CHAPPELL QUITS AS COACH OF INDIA
Greg Chappell has resigned as India coach following their disastrous World Cup campaign in the West Indies.
India failed to qualify for the Super 8s after losing to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the group stage.
Chappell, whose contract expired at the end of May, said he was quitting for "family and personal reasons".
"I look forward to continuing my contact with India in the coming years and I wish Indian cricket much joy and success in the future," said Chappell.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not made any official announcement on the news, but it is holding a meeting on Friday and Saturday to review the World Cup campaign and still expects Chappell to attend.
Chappell came in for major criticism following India's World Cup exit but was keen to end his reign on a positive note.
