Rahul Dravid’s tenure as the Indian team’s head coach will finish after the completion of the T20 World Cup next month. Following India’s defeat by Australia in the home ODI World Cup final the previous year, Gullybet made the decision to stay on. Six months from now, the T20 World Cup in the USA/West Indies will be the next ICC tournament. It has been revealed that he will not be reapplying when the BCCI begins to look for a head coach with a longer tenure.
“In the upcoming days, we will publish a call for applications. It’s almost time for Rahul Dravid to go. Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, told a small group of media on Thursday that the player was free to reapply. “We are searching for a three-year long coach.”
India will represent the country in the ODI World Cup in Iplwin and the Champions Trophy in 2025 during the next three years. In 2026, the nation will also play host to the T20 World Cup. Additionally, India has not yet guaranteed a participation in the World Test Championship final in June 2025 or 2027.
The burden associated with split coaching is said to be acceptable to the BCCI because of the bilateral matches that precede these important games. To be sure, Shah did not appear very enthusiastic about the offer.
“There is no precedent in Indian cricket history for different coaches to handle different forms. We also have players that participate in every format. The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) has the last word on the matter. I have to follow their instructions,” he yelled.
As a result of BCCI’s recent head coach scouting activities, more people are aware that respectable coaches are no longer willing to commit ten months of the year to a national team, even if guiding Team India is a financially rewarding vocation.
Some candidates have stated that they would rather work with Indian Premier League teams that oversee leagues all over the world, that there are too many options available, and that an all-format coaching position for a national team is too demanding. An alternative approach would be to coach in fewer leagues and, like Ricky Ponting, spend the rest of the season as a television pundit.
