New York, USA - In a press conference ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Indian Head Coach Rahul Dravid confirmed his departure following the tournament's conclusion. Dravid, citing the demanding nature of the coaching schedule and personal considerations, will not be reapplying for the position.
Despite his upcoming departure, Dravid expressed satisfaction with the Indian team's recent performances in major ICC tournaments. He commended the team's consistency, reaching the semi-finals of the previous T20 World Cup and the finals of both the World Test Championship and the 50-over World Cup.
While acknowledging the team's shortcomings in converting those opportunities into championship titles, Dravid emphasized his optimism. His primary focus remains on guiding India back into contention for the T20 World Cup title.
Team India's campaign begins with a match against Ireland, marking the commencement of their World Cup journey. Dravid's leadership and strategic direction will be crucial as they navigate Group A and strive for a place in the knockout stages.
