BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed that Rahul Dravid will continue to lead the team as India’s head coach in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 in June this year. Post ODI World Cup final, Dravid’s contract ended. Still, he was asked to continue in his role along with other support staff for the December-January tour to South Africa without finalising the tenure.

 

But Shah said he held an initial talk with Dravid here before arriving at the decision to retain the former captain’s services till the ICC showpiece to be held in the West Indies and the USA.

On the sidelines of the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Wednesday, Shah said he held an initial talk with Dravid before deciding to retain the former captain’s services until the ICC showpiece to be held in the West Indies and the USA.

“After the (2023) World Cup, Rahul bhai had to leave for the South Africa tour immediately. We did not get to meet in between which finally happened today,” Shah said here on the sidelines of the renaming function of the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Wednesday night.
