Ashish Nehra Turns Down Head Coach Offer By BCCI

The BCCI is extending an offer to Rahul Dravid to continue as the head coach until the upcoming T20 World Cup in June next year, following Ashish Nehra’s refusal to assume the role for the shortest format.

Despite Dravid’s contract having concluded at the conclusion of the World Cup, the BCCI is prepared to present the former Test No.3 with a new contract.

The upcoming T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place in the USA and West Indies from June onwards.

Ashish Nehra, the coach of Gujarat Titans, declined the BCCI’s invitation to take charge of the T20 format. Under Nehra’s coaching, Gujarat Titans emerged as IPL Champions last season and secured runner-up status in the 2023 season.

The BCCI turned to Nehra following India’s loss in the World Cup final.

In the aftermath of India’s defeat to Australia in the World Cup final, Dravid remarked that he had not yet contemplated whether he would choose to continue in his role as India’s coach, emphasizing his current focus on the recently concluded campaign and expressing a lack of time for further reflection.
