New Delhi, Oct 26: Former Indian Captain Rahul Dravid on Tuesday applied for the position of Team India’s head coach. The former Indian batter VVS Laxman is in the race to take over from Dravid as the (National Cricket Academy) NCA head.
“Yes Rahul has formally applied today for the position of Team India head coach and Laxman is definitely in the race to take over as NCA head. Talks are on and we have to see how it goes,” said the sources.
Dravid is the first choice as Team India head coach for BCCI president Sourav Ganguly as well as BCCI secretary Jay Shah.
“Jay and Sourav spoke to him and it was about Dravid being convinced because he does need to be on the go constantly. But things went well and Dravid has always kept the interest of Indian Cricket on the top so it made things easier as the team would do well to have someone like him guiding the boys”, sources had said.
Notably, Current coach Ravi Shastri’s contract will end with the T20 World Cup. After this T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli will also be stepping down as the captain.
