New Delhi: After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Indian cricket will embark on a new journey. Following a remarkable journey with Rahul Dravid, it is time for Team India to move ahead. Naturally, the announcement of a new head coach is only a mere formality.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah has made it official that the new head coach will take charge of the team from the Sri Lanka tour scheduled later this month. Now, the million-dollar question is who will be the next head coach? According to rumours Gautam Gambhir is expected to succeed Dravid as the head coach.

The CAC also interviewed a few other candidates for the job including former India women’s coach W V Raman. Shah who is currently in the Caribbean is drowned in the celebrations of the triumph of the Indian team. However, once he returns and takes charge of the administrative processes, the announcement of the new coach will be done shortly.
