The Indian cricket team may get a new head coach soon as the Board of Control for Cricket In India will be inviting applications for the new head coach and there are reports that Rahul Dravid is not interested in re-applying for this position.
Rahul Dravid’s tenure came to an end with the 2023 ODI World Cup but his tenure was extended for a short period after that. It is being said that it is Rahul Dravid who doesn’t want to continue as the BCCI has no problem in him trying for one more tenure.
While talking to reporters in Mumbai, the BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that the BCCI will invite applications for the new head coach soon and he also refused from the possibility of having a foreign coach. He said, “We cannot determine whether the new coach will be Indian or foreign. It will be up to the cricket advisory committee (CAC).”
He also clarified that he was not behind the decision of dropping Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the list of the annual retention contracts. He said, “You can check the constitution. I am just a convener (of selection meeting). That decision lies with Ajit Agarkar, even when these two players (Ishan and Iyer) who did not play domestic (cricket), the decision to drop them (from the central contracts list) was only his. My role is just to implement. And we have got new players (in place), like Sanju (Samson). Nobody is indispensable.”
Rahul Dravid’s coaching era is coming to an end, how do you feel about it?
