The Board of Control for Cricket in India has invited applications for the post of Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy as Rahul Dravid’s two-year contract is about to end. However, a few media reports have claimed that the former India captain has reapplied for the position.
Several cricket pundits have backed Dravid’s re-joining as NCA chief as they believe his presence will continue to help in growth of budding cricketers. The former India skipper is highly applauded for providing a talented pool of youngsters that has fuelled the bench strength of Team India.
Last month, Dravid toured Sri Lanka as the head coach of a second-string Indian side that won the ODI series 2-1 but lost the T20Is 1-2. There were speculations that he might replace Ravi Shastri as the latter’s tenure will come to an end after the T20 World Cup in UAE. But now, the reports of his reapplication at least confirms that he still wants to continue to help the national cricket team by creating a robust supply line.
