The BCCI on Monday invited applications for the post of Indian men’s cricket team’s head coach for a period of three and half years as incumbent Rahul Dravid’s tenure will end with next month’s T20 World Cup in the Americas.
The deadline to submit an application is May 27, the board stated in a media release.
“The selection process will include a thorough review of applications, followed by personal interviews and assessments of shortlisted candidates,” the release further stated.
The selected new coach will take charge of the team from July 1, immediately after the T20 World Cup in the Americas, and the term will expire on December 31, 2027.
The BCCI stipulated that the candidate, below 60 years age, should have played a minimum of 30 Tests or 50 ODIs and the applicant should have performed a similar role as a full member Test nation for a minimum of two years.
The incoming coach will have to handle the transition from batting stalwarts Virat Kohli and current skipper Rohit Sharma, who are in the evening phase of a glittering career at 35 and 37 years respectively, PTI reports.
