According to reports, the BCCI has not yet initiated discussions regarding the future of Team India's support staff led by head coach Rahul Dravid. In 2021, former India captain replaced Ravi Shastri as the team's head coach and was given a two-year contract by the BCCI.
According to reports, the BCCI has not yet initiated discussions regarding the future of Team India's support staff led by head coach Rahul Dravid. In 2021, former India captain replaced Ravi Shastri as the team's head coach and was given a two-year contract by the BCCI.
The tenure will end after the completion of the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. The final is scheduled to take place on November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India have already secured their place in the final by defeating New Zealand by 70 runs in the first semi-final on Wednesday (November 15). The Men in Blue will face either South Africa or Australia in the title decider.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to discuss the future of Team India's coaching staff. Dravid and his support team had contracts until the World Cup. Given that the team has displayed commanding dominance in the tournament, a contract extension or extension could be on the cards. However, it will be interesting to find out if Dravid is ready to move on.
The report said that India's impressive performances of late have changed BCCI officials' views on Rahul Dravid's coaching methods. A contract extension or renewal is very likely after the impressive performance at the World Cup. However, the final decision will depend on whether Rahul Dravid himself is interested in a sequel.
There is currently no clarity about his stance on a possible extension. The news outlet stated that there have been no discussions with the head coach about his future in the last month or before. Rahul Dravid has decided to focus only on the World Cup. Even if Dravid decides against extending his contract, the support staff is likely to get an extension.
“Whether Dravid decides to continue or not, it is expected that members of his support team - batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and fielding coach T Dilip - are likely to be offered extensions. Details are expected to be announced soon,” the report said.
