Rahul Dravid's "Tenure To Be...": BCCI Secretary Jay Shah's Big Update On Indian Cricket Team Coach

Rahul Dravid, as the Indian cricket team head coach, has seen several highs. His tenure has seen the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team reach the finals of the World Test Championship and ODI Cricket World Cup. Recently, his contract as the Indian cricket team head coach was extended by the BCCI. In the last week of November, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officially announced the extension of contracts for head coach Rahul Dravid and the support staff of Team India (Senior Men). "The BCCI engaged in productive discussions with Rahul Dravid after the term of his contract ended following the recently concluded ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 and unanimously agreed to further the tenure," BCCI said in an official statement.

However, the duration of his new contract was not mentioned in the press release. Now, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has given a major update on when there will be clarity on the issue.

"Length of Rahul Dravid's tenure as India head coach to be decided after team returns from South Africa," BCCI secretary Jay Shah was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

"We have given the extension but we are yet to finalise the contract. We did not get time at all, they finished (with the World Cup). I had a meeting with them (Dravid & Co.) and we agreed mutually that they will continue. We will sit down and decide once they return from South Africa," the secretary said.
