After the World Cup, the Indian team may get a new head coach. Rahul Dravid became the coach of Team India for the first time in the year 2021, he replaced Ravi Shastri. 

Dravid's tenure was for two years, after which it was extended till T20 World Cup 2024. 

Now his tenure is going to end in June. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has said that if Rahul Dravid wants to continue in the post even after the T20 World Cup, he will have to apply again. 

He also said that the appointment of the new coach will be for three years.

Shah said select 'We will invite applications in the next few days. There has not been a trend in Indian cricket to have different coaches for different formats. Apart from this, we have many players who play in all formats like Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. This decision has to be taken by the Cricket Advisory Committee. Whatever decision he takes, I will implement it. If they say they want a foreign coach, I will not interfere. The committee consists of Jatin Paranjape, Ashok Malhotra and Sulakshana Naik".

Jai Shah said, 'Rahul Dravid's tenure is about to end. If he wants to continue in the post, he will have to apply again. We need a long-term coach, for three years'. 

Greg Barclay's tenure as chairman of the International Cricket Committee ends this year, but Shah did not say whether he is in the running for the post. 

He said, 'Let me stay here in BCCI. Let there be speculation, but let me stay here. Am I not doing a good job?'
