Tom Moody – The tall man who stands 6 feet and 7 inches and also the former coach of Sri Lankan cricket team was a strong horse in this rat race. He was one of the 21 applicants who were shortlisted for this post. He also gave a presentation in front of the committee who took the final call but may be BCCI had other plans to give the post to an Indian cricket only was probably the reason fro him not awarded with this post. He too has experience in this field and he is currently the coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
