Bengaluru: If sources are to be believed then, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s advisory committee, comprising of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman has asked Rahul Dravid whether he was interested in becoming the chief coach of the team.

If Rahul Dravid gives an answer in affirmation, then he will soon take over the reins of Team India as its chief coach.
The BCCI had earlier approached former Australian batsman Michael Hussey to take up the role of chief coach but it did not materialise.

However, it is said that Dravid has told the committee that he would think over the proposal.
Rahul, at present, is the mentor of the Indian Premier League’s Delhi Daredevils team. Prior to it, he was the chief coach of India Under-19 team. He was the mentor of the now-suspended Rajasthan Royals team as well.

The report says that the advisory committee will meet on Tuesday to discuss the issue of the chief coach.

It is also said that while there is no clarity on the role of ex-cricketer Ravi Shastri the BCCI was not interested in handing over chief coach’s role to Shastri.
