"I am not at all disappointed. I wish good luck to the new coach and the Indian team," Amarnath, who was the sole Indian in the fray, said in New Delhi.

The six-member committee set up by the BCCI picked Chappell ahead of Amarnath, Australian Tom Moody and West Indian Desmond Haynes, to succeed New Zealand's [Images] John Wright [Images] for a period of two years till June 2007.

The hero of the 1983 World Cup, whose lack of computer knowledge came to fore when he took help of his brother-in-law during the interview because he did not know how to use a laptop, said he did not have any complains with the selection process.

"The whole (selection) process was correct," he said.

When asked about his stance that an Indian should be the coach, he reiterated his preference for the same.

"I still think what I said was correct," Amarnath said.

Amarnath had earlier said "I respect the foreign cricketers but we also have our history and achievement. We have the talent and people who can do the job. Hum kisise kum nahi (We are second to none). I believe Indians are the best (for the job)."
