Rahul Dravid sole candidate to apply for NCA’s Head of Cricket post, BCCI extends deadline

Batting great Rahul Dravid has reapplied for the position of Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy.

Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid has reapplied for the position of Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru. Dravid was recently appointed as the head coach of the Indian team that toured Sri Lanka last month to play the limited-overs leg and there were speculations that the Karnataka-born player would replace Ravi Shastri as India’s head coach, when the latter’s contract expires this year. BCCI had to invite applications since Dravid's two-year contract had ended. As per the new constitution, there is no provision for extension and the hiring process has to start afresh.
