CHRISTCHURCH, July 1: Dave Nosworthy, the New Zealand 'A' and Canterbury coach whose has reportedly applied for the job of coaching the Indian cricket team, has pleaded ignorance about the news.
South African Nosworthy said he knew nothing about the BCCI's shortlist but said that his London-based agent might have put in his application with the Indian Board.
"I haven't heard anything from anyone but I do have a representative in London who looks after these things for me, and acts on my behalf - that's how I got the Canterbury job," he said.
"Right now I'm just enjoying my time with Canterbury and NZC. It's news to me that people are talking about me in India," he was quoted as saying in New Zealand media.
Former Sri Lanka coach John Dyson and Queensland's Terry Oliver have also been mentioned as contenders for the post left vacant by Australian Greg Chappell's departure after the World Cup.
Another South African Graham Ford, who was offered the job last month, turned it down.
