Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid has reapplied for the position of Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy after talks of him being the new coach of India arose
The BCCI had requested applicants for the role of NCA cricket head, which is currently held by Dravid, earlier this month. After the T20 World Cup in November, it was suggested that he may succeed Ravi Shastri as head coach of the senior national team.
Rahul sends in his application for the cricket head of NCA
Because Dravid’s two-year contract had expired, BCCI had to invite him to reapply. There is no provision for extension under the constitutional amendment, therefore the application process must begin all over again. Yes, Rahul has reapplied for the position of NCA head of cricket. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that he’ll continue running after all the hard time he’s spent in transforming NCA into a truly global hub, a senior BCCI source familiar with the situation said.
Rahul Dravid’s Coaching Experience
Rahul Dravid traveled to Sri Lanka as the head coach of the senior Indian squad. He did, however, express reservations about taking on a full-time position with the national team. “Working with these guys has been fantastic. I haven’t given anything else any thought. Full-time positions come with a lot of obstacles, so I’m not sure,” said Rahul in a recent interview.

The 164-Test veteran and head coach of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore has aided the development of several young cricketers. Dravid coached the 20-man group in Sri Lanka, including a few uncapped players, as Ravi Shastri is in England with the first-choice players for the five-match Test series.
