The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) bought fairly busy as quickly as the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup ended. A squad was to be introduced for the continuing T20 collection between India and Australia, there was IPL retention and launch day, a week later to be taken care of and the discussions relating to the head coach. The board and Rahul Dravid, whose tenure got here to an finish with the World Cup are in continued discussions and talks about what the long run holds and it appears the BCCI is keen on having a new coach.
As per a PTI report, the BCCI isn’t taking any determination in haste and needs to clear all this from each events earlier than reaching a determination. However, a basic feeling within the board is that they’re wanting forward for a new coach.
“Rahul and the BCCI had a discuss the place issues stand now. We will respect the choice taken by him. The basic feeling is that with the T20 World Cup about 7-8 months away, there’s time for a new coach to are available in and construct a crew and set a course of. He (Dravid) is sort of conscious of that,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying to PTI.
The report said that the BCCI was glad with how Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma managed the facet within the final couple of years despite the fact that the crew could not win both of three ICC trophies within the interval. Hence, the ultimate name can be taken after analysing the choice and contemplating all conditions and angles.
“We are also talking about whether continuity (current coach/captain combination) is needed for the (T20) World Cup. We are hoping to reach a decision soon so that path forward is clear,” the supply additional added.
VVS Laxman, the NCA head, who toured with the facet to Zimbabwe final yr and Ireland earlier this yr, is in control of the younger crew at present concerned within the five-match T20 collection in opposition to Australia. Since he is aware of the ins and outs of the crew and the gamers as nicely, he’s seemingly to be Dravid’s successor, if the previous coach’s contract is not renewed.
