Indian cricket team's trainer Gregory Allen King has informed the BCCI that he does not intend to continue at the post after the ongoing tour of Australia.
South African King, who took up the reins from compatriot Adrian Le Roux in August, 2003, was contracted with the BCCI till December 2007, has decided against seeking an extension.
"He has expressed his desire not to continue after this tour [of Australia], citing personal reasons," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said on Friday.
King's decision comes a day after the Indian team physiotherapist John Gloster had decided not to continue after the ongoing tri-series in Australia.
The 34-year-old trainer had a non-controversial stint with the Indian team, though recently it was suggested that his observations were partly responsible for the non-selection of Sourav Ganguly [Images] in the ODI squad.
King is a post-graduate in Human Kinetics and Ergonomics, was a fitness trainer and sports scientist with the Border Cricket Board in South Africa since 1998.
