Dravid is new Coach of Indian U19 Team
Former India captain Rahul Dravid has agreed in principle to become the coach of the India Under-19 and A teams, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur confirmed during a board advisory meeting on Saturday."The good news is that Rahul Dravid has agreed to coach India A and India Under-19 in the future," Thakur said. Dravid's first assignment will be a tri-series hosted by India, between the A teams of India, South Africa and Australia in July. He will also accompany the Under-19 team to next year's World Cup in Bangladesh.
Dravid had been widely tipped for the post since Tuesday, when ESPNcricinfo reported that the BCCI had a "role in mind" for him, with Thakur himself mentioning that "for any cricketer of that stature, the BCCI would like to have their services." Dravid was even approached to join the cricket advisory committee with former batsmen Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, but he declined the offer as he was keener on a more hands-on role.
