Rahul Dravid’s coaching stint ending soon, the BCCI has a big job ahead: finding a new coach for the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team.
Coaching the Indian cricket team is undoubtedly a prestigious role, but the BCCI is likely to encounter difficulties in the selection process. Recent reports suggest that renowned coaches are hesitant to commit to the demanding schedule of coaching the national team for nearly ten months each year.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has emphasized the board’s preference for a long-term coach, indicating a desire for stability in the coaching setup. Yet, it’s tough to find someone ready to fully commit to this role.
Moreover, the allure of coaching IPL franchises and participating in other lucrative leagues around the world has diminished the appeal of coaching the national team. Coaching in all formats makes finding a new coach even tougher.
While there have been discussions about the possibility of split coaching to alleviate workload, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah expressed reservations about the concept. He highlighted the absence of precedent for different coaches across formats in Indian cricket and emphasized the importance of the Cricket Advisory Committee’s decision.
As India gears up for major tournaments across all three formats in the coming years, the BCCI must navigate these challenges to ensure the team continues its success on the international stage. Finding the next coach after Rahul Dravid is vital for the future of Indian cricket.
