Anil Kumble has stepped down as India coach, two days after the team's heavy loss to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final.
Kumble's original contract expired with the team's Champions Trophy campaign, but the former captain was tipped to get an extension after enjoying a successful run during his year in charge.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) invited applications for the role last month and Kumble had re-applied for the same.
But it has been confirmed the 46-year-old, who was put in charge last June, has decided to step down.
The former leg-spinner, also India's most successful bowler, led India to 12 victories from 17 Tests and losing just once.
He also guided India to one-day international series wins over New Zealand and England with losses coming only in a Twenty20 series against the West Indies and in last week's Champions Trophy final, where they lost to Pakistan.
Kumble is also the chairman of the International Cricket Council's cricket committee and has stayed back in London for the world governing body's meeting this week.
He decided not to travel with the India side for a limited-overs tour to the West Indies, where they will play a five-match ODI series and a T20 game in the Caribbean starting on June 23.
