Rahul Dravid will not re-apply for the post of head coach of Team India

The cricketing fraternity is expecting a massive change as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) prepares to hire a new head coach for the men's team, possibly signalling the end of Rahul Dravid's tenure. Jay Shah, the cricket board's secretary, recently spoke about the process of hiring a new coach.

Batting legend Rahul Dravid took over as head coach in November 2021. A new era of discipline, resilience and commitment has dawned in Indian cricket. His extensive playing background and in-depth knowledge of the game enabled him to build a squad that captured the essence of Indian cricket while adapting to the dynamic nature of the game.

According to TOI, Dravid is not considering reapplying for the position of head coach of the Indian team.

The Indian team has enjoyed tremendous success under Dravid's tenure. He established himself as one of the finest coaches in Indian cricket history, guiding the team through difficult circumstances with his cool head and strategic insight.

The BCCI now has the daunting task of selecting a deserving candidate to lead the Indian cricket team as Dravid's tenure comes to an end. A squad full of skill and potential will be handed over to the new head coach, who will be appointed for a three-year term that includes the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Although Dravid is free to reapply for the job, there's a chance he won't, which could lead to a sea change in Indian cricket. To ensure a thorough search for the best candidate, the BCCI is inviting candidates from India and abroad to apply for the post.

The selection of the new head coach will be accompanied by changes in the coaching staff, with batting, bowling, and fielding coaches to be selected along with the new head coach. The aim of this calculated move is to create a cohesive team that can cope with the demands of modern cricket, where creativity and agility are key.
