Rahul Dravid agrees in principle to take over the position of Team India’s head coach: Reports
Rahul Dravid has agreed, in principle, to apply for the position of Team India’s head coach to succeed Ravi Shastri, as reported by Cricbuzz. It has been learned that Dravid flew to Dubai, where he was invited for the business end of the IPL alongside people in key BCCI positions, like the CAC and Apex Council members.
“Up until this point, Dravid was understood to be uninterested in taking up the India coach offer. But in the lead-up to the IPL final, he had a long chat with all the office-bearers of the BCCI, who had been trying to convince Dravid for over a week prior to that,” Cricbuzz stated.
After the meeting, Dravid was convinced to agree to apply for the head coach position. Paras Mhambrey, who has worked with Dravid over the years, is likely to be appointed as the bowling coach.
