BCCI invites applications for the position of Team India Head Coach

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday invited applications for the position of Head Coach of the Senior Men’s Team. An official release by the board stated that the applications for the position should be submitted by 6PM IST on May 27, 2024.

The release, by BCCI Secretary Jay Shah further stated that the selection process will include a thorough review of applications, followed by personal interviews and assessments of shortlisted candidates.

Current India head coach Rahul Dravid's term expires after the T20 World Cup in June. The BCCI, in a statement, had earlier informed that the tenure of the next coach will be over 3.5 years -- (July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2027).

Interestingly, door is still open for Dravid as Jay Shah told reporters in Mumbai that Dravid can re-apply for the top job as his tenure is ending in June.

Dravid was handed an extension after the 2023 World Cup. Under Dravid's watch, Rohit and Co. made it to the final of the 50-over World Cup last year.
