NEW DELHI: Indian head coach Rahul Dravid is set to part ways with Rohit Sharma and the national team following the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean. With Dravid's tenure ending after next month's marquee event, the BCCI has started inviting applications for the position of head coach.
In recent weeks, several prominent names have been associated with the high profile role. Legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting and Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming were among the top contenders. However, Ponting, currently the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the IPL, confirmed on Thursday that he had been approached but declined the offer to replace Dravid. Similarly, former Australia head coach Justin Langer and Royal Challengers Bangalore manager Andy Flower have also removed themselves from consideration.
