Team India Head Coach: BCCI is looking for a new head coach for the Indian team. The big question is who will be the next head coach of Team India after Rahul Dravid. The last date to apply for this is 27 May 2024. The current head coach of the Indian team is Rahul Dravid, whose tenure will end soon after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The BCCI said that whoever becomes the next head coach of the Indian team, his tenure will start from July 1. However, another player involved in the race for the head coach has refused to take responsibility.
Kumar Sangakkara said- I don't have time
This legendary player is none other than Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara. There were speculations that Sangakkara could be made the head coach of the Indian team, but this player himself has come forward and denied it. He said that BCCI has not contacted me to become the head coach and I do not have the time to handle such a big responsibility. I am very happy to become the head coach of Rajasthan Royals. In this way another player has been out of this race. Even before Sangakkara, many legendary players had refused to become the head coach.
Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer were also in the race for head coach
BCCI offered Rahul Dravid to extend his tenure if he wanted, but he made it clear that he would not extend his tenure. Apart from this, former New Zealand legend Stephen Fleming also refused to become the head coach. In such a situation, speculations were being made that Kumar Sangakkara could be given the responsibility, but he has also refused it. Let us tell you that former Australian players Justin Langer and Ricky Ponting had said that BCCI had contacted them to become the head coach, but they refused. On this issue, BCCI issued a statement saying that no one has been contacted from our side. The head coach of the Indian team will be selected under a process.
