The sport had already reported that Hardik Pandya will be officially appointed as India’s new T20 captain ahead of the series against Sri Lanka.

Under this, Dravid will mainly focus on the ODI and Test teams, while a separate coaching set-up is being considered for T20s. At the same time, the top BCCI official also confirmed.

“We are seriously considering it. More than the ability of Rahul Dravid or anyone, it is a question of managing a busy schedule and having specialist skills on board.

Like A tight Calendar And Regular Events:-

T20 is like a different game now, tough calendar and regular events. We also need to embrace change. Yes, I can confirm – India will have a new T20 coaching set-up very soon.”

Both Ravi Shastri and Harbhajan Singh had earlier suggested that India should have a separate coach and captain for the T20 set-up.

During that time Harbhajan Singh had said. “Somebody who has played the game recently is better suiting for a coaching job in T20.

I am not saying that you should remove Rahul from T20. Ashish and Rahul can work together to prepare this team for the 2024 World Cup.
