Long-Term Vision: BCCI Plans Appointment of Head Coach for Three-Year Tenure
Other members of the coaching staff such as batting, bowling, and fielding coaches will be selected after consultation with the new coaches, Shah said. He said, “We cannot decide whether the new coach will be an Indian or a foreigner.” Shah confirmed that the new coach will be appointed for a long term and will serve for an initial period of three years.
Currently, the head coach of Team India is Rahul Dravid. BCCI had extended his tenure in November last year. Dravid’s two-year tenure ended with the ODI World Cup final.

The T20 World Cup will be held in West Indies and America in June this year. In November 2021, Rahul Dravid was appointed the head coach of Team India.
