Bharat Arun And R Sridhar Eligible To Re-Apply For Indian Coaching Jobs, Decides Against It

The present Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar’s tenure is about to come to an end after the T20 World cup 2021, and they are unlikely to reapply. Having served a period of more than 6 years with the Indian team, they have decided to part ways with the Indian side, and both have immensely contributed to the Indian team’s growth and development.

The Indian fast bowlers have been cherishing their roles under the bowling coach Bharat Arun, and they have become highly potent after the stint with him. The standard of Indian fielding has grown in leaps, and R Sridhar should take the credit for it. He has imbibed an excellent fielding unit, and both these coaches are very close to Ravi Shastri as well.

Bharat Arun And R Sridhar Not To Seek Extensions

Bharat Arun is 58 years old now, and by the time of appointment again, he will remain under the criteria of 60 years which makes him eligible to reapply for the position. R Sridhar is 51, and he still has a long way to go in his coaching career. It is learned that both these coaches are not willing to continue with the Indian team stint, and they have been offered jobs from various IPL franchises already.

Ravi Shastri’s tenure is set to come to an end after the T20 Worldcup 2021, and he will be 60 by the next May, which makes it tough for him to apply, and he has already stated his motive that he will not be continuing. Ravi Shastri had been an incredible coach for the Indian side despite him not winning any major trophies.

Rahul Dravid Agrees To Apply For Head Coach Role

Rahul Dravid had earlier shown his interest in staying with NCA as the head coach, but however, the BCCI has convinced him now to apply for the head coach role, and he is expected to become the next

head coach hands down. Rahul Dravid has coached the second-string Indian side in Sri Lanka, and he has been excellent in grooming the youngsters so far.

Ravi Shastri’s tenure comes to an end after the T20 Worldcup 2021, and Rahul Dravid is expected to take away the head coach position straightaway.
