AFP, New Delhi :
India’s cricket board will hunt for a new coach to take charge after the T20 World Cup (WC) in June, but left the door open for Rahul Dravid to reapply.
Dravid, who became head coach of the men’s team in November 2021, was handed a short-term extension when his two-year contract expired after India’s loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup final last November.
“We will call for applications in the next few days,” Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), told reporters in Mumbai.
“Rahul Dravid’s tenure is coming to an end in June. If he wants to re-apply, he can.” Shah said the next coach would be offered a contract through to the next ODI World Cup in 2027 and ruled out hiring different coaches for the three formats. “We are looking for a long-term coach for three years,” Shah said, in comments reported by Indian media on Friday.
