Rahul Dravid and his support staff had contracts till the World Cup.

Rahul Dravid and his support staff had contracts until the World Cup, and there were differing views within the BCCI over the future of the coaching team. Initially, senior BCCI officials had reservations about Dravid’s coaching style, but the recent performances of the Indian team have changed those perceptions.

Rahul Dravid’s contract as the head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team is set to expire after the ICC World Cup 2023.

Dravid was a reluctant coach

When he took over in 2021, the initial impression was that he was a reluctant coach. Some people close to him had suggested that he may voluntarily step down after the World Cup, regardless of the team’s performance. However, no one knows what Dravid wants to do right now. There has been no discussion with Dravid regarding his future in the last month or before. He has concentrated on his work.

Details of the coach and his staff are expected to be revealed soon.

Whether Dravid continues or not, it is speculated that his support staff members – batting coach Vikram Rathore, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, and fielding coach T Dilip – could be offered extensions. Details are expected to be revealed soon.

BCCI has not yet confirmed the date of team selection for the T20 series. It is estimated that this will happen on the next day of the final on 20th November. The match will start in Visakhapatnam after two days
