head coach of team india Ravi Shastri According to the report of a leading daily, he will break ties with the national team after the T20 World Cup to be held in November later this year. Along with Shastri, the support staff of Bharat Arun (bowling coach), R Sridhar (fielding coach), and Vikram Rathor (batting coach) are also reportedly not interested in renewing their national contracts.
According to the Indian Express, Shastri has informed some members of the BCCI board about the decision, while some staff members are already in talks with IPL teams to take up coaching roles within various franchises. With the BCCI inviting job applications for the head of cricket at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, currently run by Rahul Dravid, it will be interesting to see if the former India captain and one of the legends of the game takes up the role of the chief. National team coach. The former Indian international was the coach of the Indian team that toured Sri Lanka, and since he has clearly stated that he is not looking for anything beyond Sri Lanka’s stint, you can never say never in the BCCI, especially Dravid. Teammate Sourav Ganguly has been playing an influential role on the board along with his long time.
“Rahul Dravid could have applied for the post again, but with Ravi Shastri’s tenure ending in November 2021 after the T20 World Cup, there is every possibility of Rahul getting promoted to the position of head coach. Bottom line, he is very much part of the system,” a BCCI source had told PTI.
The current age limit for the head coach is 60, the same as the NCA lead role, and Shastri turned 59 in May. Shastri, a former India all-rounder and popular commentator, joined the Indian team in the capacity of team director from 2014 to 2016. Anil Kumble was at the helm for a year, but following India’s defeat in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, Shastri was appointed the team’s full-time coach. Under Shastri’s leadership, India won two series in Australia and reached the final of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship and a place in the 2019 World Cup semi-finals.
At home, India were a formidable force in Tests, beating Australia, South Africa and England, while in the away tours they blanked the West Indies and Sri Lanka, and were competitive in South Africa and England. Under Kohli, Shastri and the coaching staff and Dravid at the NCA, the Indian team’s bench strength grew, leading to a memorable Indian victory in Australia and two Indian teams playing competitive cricket at the same time.
The board may invite applications for the coaching post after the T20 World Cup.
