Team India is set to witness a transition at least in the T20 format with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja announcing their retirement from the format after the team’s historic World Cup win in Barbados. The tournament also saw the end of head coach Rahul Dravid’s tenure since 2021. His tenure had officially ended last year after the ODI World Cup but was extended until the T20 World Cup.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had advertised for the top position more than a month ago and the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) also interviewed the candidates including Gautam Gambhir who is suspected to take over. But the BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has kept all the cards related to the same close to his chest and has cleared the air stating that the announcement of the new head coach will be made soon.
