Kumble off to Macau after home season
India head coach Anil Kumble is taking a much-deserved break from action following the long and arduous home season.
The former India leg spinner let his fans know about it by keeping them posted via his account on Instagram.
Kumble is known to be a keen photographer, and is constantly seen with a camera.
After clicking pictures of the national team from the dressing room, Kumble has uploaded an image from Macau where he is vacationing with his family after helping the Indian Test team consolidate their world No 1 ranking.
“Taking a short break in Macau after a long season. #TravelDiaries #FamilyTime (sic),” Kumble captioned the image uploaded on his Instagram profile.
The Virat Kohli-led India side, with Anil Kumble as head coach, won four successive home series in the 2016-17 season.
Appointed coach in June 2016 in place of Ravi Shastri, Kumble has overseen series victories against New Zealand, England, a one-off match against Bangladesh and a four-Test series against Australia.
The Men in Blue also bettered England in two limited-overs series — winning 2-1 each in a three-match ODI series and a three-match T20I series — during their tour of India.
NOT PART OF IPL
Kumble isn’t involved with any franchise in the 2017 Indian Premier League season.
He was a part of Mumbai Indians as chief mentor but left the role in December 2015.
Kumble will be back for the ICC Champions Trophy which will be played in England from June 1.
India play against Pakistan on June 4, Sri Lanka on June 8 and South Africa on June 11.
