Mumbai: It is reported that Team India will have a new coach following the ODI World Cup, which will be held in India this year. The contract of the head coach Rahul Dravid will end with the World Cup, but even if the Indian team lifts the cup, there is a possibility that the former player will leave the position, according to the report of Inside Sport. According to the report, Dravid will not wait for a second stint as coach.
It is reported that Rahul Dravid will not renew his coaching contract following the ODI World Cup. It has been suggested that Dravid has to travel a lot with the Indian cricket team and stay away from family matters. In 2021, Sourav Ganguly unexpectedly took over as the BCCI president from Ravi Shastri as Dravid’s Indian coach. Dravid was initially reluctant to take charge citing family issues and frequent tours, but Dada intervened and roped in the legendary player. Dravid wants to settle his life. That is why he hesitated to become a coach at first. “Even if India wins the World Cup, he will take a decision on whether to continue in charge,” BCCI sources told Inside Sport.
But some other BCCI centers reject this argument. “There are no talks regarding renewing the contract at the moment. The current focus is on the World Cup. However, discussions with Dravid will take place before the World Cup. A senior BCCI member also stated that there is no indication from Dravid’s side that he should not continue as coach. The team has had mixed results under Dravid, who took over from Ravi Shastri following the 2021 T20 World Cup defeat. Despite winning many series at home venues, the team suffered losses abroad, in the Asia Cup, the 2022 T20 World Cup and the final of the World Test Championship.
