Dravid to stay on as India Coach

Agency :
Rahul Dravid will stay on as Coach of India, the country’s cricket board said on Wednesday, having led the hosts to the final of the World Cup earlier this month.

It was “unanimously agreed to further the tenure” of the 50-year-old former skipper, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement.

“The board acknowledges Mr. Dravid’s instrumental role in moulding the Indian team and commends his exceptional professionalism,” it said.

Dravid’s contract had expired after the World Cup, which ended on November 19 with India’s defeat to Australia.

Dravid was appointed in November 2021 for a two-year period.
“The last two years with team India have been thoroughly memorable,” said Dravid.
