Team India head coach Rahul Dravid, whose two-year contract ended following the culmination of the 2023 ODI World Cup, will not sign a new deal and desires a role as head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) according to the report.
Current NCA head VVS Laxman is poised to take over the affairs of the senior team, with the upcoming South Africa tour primed as the first major assignment.
Dravid took over as Team India’s head coach after Ravi Shastri’s exit in late 2021. He forged a partnership with all-format skipper Rohit Sharma to guide the team into the knockout stages of three ICC events.
The Men in Blue made it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022, the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, and the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Rahul Dravid was asked about his future following Team India’s heartbreaking defeat in the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia. He did not comment on his future and stated that he had not thought about the decision yet.
