New Delhi: The pursuit of India’s head coach has raised a lot of media speculations and conjectures. Many names have been considered and rejected for the post of the head coach. Furthermore, different narratives have also come up around the entire job vacancy. Amidst all this hiatus, former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has come up with a cryptic message which has blown the entire head coach scenario.
Currently, Rahul Dravid is the acting head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team. However, the former Indian skipper will be stepping down from the coaching responsibilities once the T20 World Cup concludes. In the absence of Dravid, many names are reportedly tossed up like that of Gautam Gambhir and that of Ashish Nehra. Furthermore, there were many rumours and reports as well that BCCI has contacted former Australian and New Zealand players; Stephen Fleming, Ricky Ponting and Justin Langer as well. However, Jay Shah, the BCCI Secretary has quashed every rumour and chatter that was speculated between both sides.

“..BCCI brass wouldn’t mind taking some more time…“- Sourav Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly has come out with a rather cryptic message amidst this entire fiasco. The 51-year-old has reportedly not applied to the BCCI head coach post. However, his post on the entire incident raid has raised an eyebrow from various corners of the cricketing circles.
The coach’s significance in one’s life, their guidance, and relentless training shape the future of any person, both on and off the field. So choose the coach and institution wisely…

Furthermore, when asked about the deadline of the application to be 27th May, Dada responded, “The deadline is fine, but the BCCI brass wouldn’t mind taking some more time before reaching a decision…”
Is Ganguly seeing himself as a potential candidate for the job? Many believed that the former Indian skipper who has already shown his leadership skills in the post-match-fixing era could be an ideal replacement. However, with the jeopardy that ensured following the former’s exit from the post of President, it is unlikely that the authorities will keep Sourav on their cards.
