Michael Vaughan Fires Warning To Other Nations After Reports Of Rahul Dravid Becoming India's New Head Coach

Former England captain Michael Vaughan signalled warning signs to other countries after reports emerged that Rahul Dravid was all but guaranteed to become Team India’s next head coach.

Dravid has always been the favourite for the BCCI, and if satisfactory terms are agreed to, he might become the next coach. Current head coach, Ravi Shastri‘s tenure ends after the conclusion of the upcoming T20 World Cup.

It has been confirmed that his contract won’t be extended. The BCCI has begun the process of finding the new coach, and reports in the Times of India stated that Dravid was the frontrunner.

Speaking about the matter, Michael Vaughan warned the other teams to be wary of the threat Team India could become under Dravid. “If it’s true Rahul Dravid is to be the next Indian coach I think the rest of the world better beware … !” he said.
