Sourav Ganguly has said that he was not in a position to take up the job of Indian cricket team's coach at present even if offered to him. "I really don't know as I have got another job to do at the moment. I am actually running the cricket (as CAB president). You can't do both at the same time. "You have to see where life goes.

On whether he could be the next BCCI President, the former Indian captain proffered to remain non committal. "I really don't know. I have just started a career and I don't where it will go and where it will finish. I don't rule out anything in life nor do I look too far forward either. I live for the day and the moment.

The Indian team is unlikely to get a new coach anytime soon with the BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee member Sourav Ganguly today saying it will take another couple of months to find a suitable candidate for the high-profile position.

I am not too sure if it happens before the Zimbabwe tour because it is not too far away," said Ganguly, who is on the advisory panel, alongside Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman.
