NEW DELHI. — Rahul Dravid will stay on as India head coach following an extension of his contract, which had expired with the 50-overs home World Cup earlier this month, the country’s cricket board said yesterday.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) did not reveal the duration of the extension but it is likely to cover the T20 World Cup in West Indies and the Unit-ed States in June.
“The BCCI engaged in productive discussions with Rahul Dravid after the term of his contract ended . . . and unanimously agreed to further the tenure,” the board said in a statement.
The BCCI acknowledged Dravid’s “exceptional professionalism” as coach of the side which reached the finals of the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup this year losing to Australia on both occasions. — Reuters
