Earlier, Sehwag said the he did not land up at coaching position because of lack of setting.

“I couldn’t become the India coach because I didn’t have any setting with those who were in power of appointing the coach,” said Sehwag.

“I never thought of coaching the Indian cricket team. I was given an offer to coach the team. The BCCI (acting) secretary Amitabh Chaudhary and GM (Game Development) MV Sridhar came to me and requested me to think about the offer. I took my time and then applied for the position,” he added.
