BCCI has announced applications for the new head coach of the Indian team. All experienced players can apply for this till 27th May. Currently the head coach of the Indian team is former Indian legend Rahul Dravid. Rahul Dravid's tenure ended after the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, but he was requested to work as the head coach during the T20 World Cup 2024 as well, which was accepted by the former legend. Now the T20 World Cup will also end in one and a half months, in such a situation the question arises that who will be the head coach of the Indian team after Rahul.
What is the update on Dravid and Laxman?
Many veteran cricketers of India have once again requested Rahul Dravid to extend his tenure, but Rahul clarified that due to personal reasons he can no longer remain the head coach of the Indian team, hence he will not hold this post. There was speculation about VVS Laxman that Laxman could be the next head coach of the Indian team, but he has also made it clear that he is not going to apply for this either. Both the players have not given this information officially, but this information has come out in a report.
India won the ICC trophy under the leadership of a foreign coach
BCCI has also made it clear that not only Indians but also foreign players can apply for the post of head coach of the Indian team. It is not necessary that only an Indian legend should be made the head coach of the Indian team. India last won the ICC Trophy in the year 2013, when India won the Champions Trophy 2013 title. During this period, the head coach of the Indian team was Duncan Fletcher. Apart from this, India also won the ICC ODI World Cup 2011, during which the head coach of the Indian team was also a foreigner. India's head coach has been an Indian player since 2014, since then India has not won a single ICC trophy. In such a situation, now any foreign player can be made the head coach of the Indian team.
