Rahul Dravid to take charge of team India for New Zealand Series after T20 World Cup.



Former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid is likely to take charge of team India?s coaching duties for the New Zealand home series after the T20 World Cup 2021. The Kiwis will travel to India for three T20Is and two test match series right after the end of the T20 World Cup 2021, scheduled in UAE and Oman.



It is noteworthy that the current head coach of the Indian team, Ravi Shastri, will resign after the T20 World Cup 2021 as his term will be finished and he hasn?t sought any extension. The BCCI has understood that the search for a perfect coach for the high profile team will take some time and till then there is a need for an interim experienced coach.



Dravid, who coached the second-string Indian team for the Sri Lanka tour earlier this year, is likely to head the role until BCCI elects the new coaching staff for the Men in Blue. He will remain in charge and will continue to give his services to the team until the selection of a suitable candidate.



The BCCI has already approached Rahul Dravid to take up the full-time role of team India?s coaching duties, however, the 48-years old has constantly resisted the offer from the richest cricket board as he doesn?t want to travel much and don?t want to keep his family away from him.



Rahul Dravid is the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore and wants to continue providing his services in nurturing the Indian young talent from the grass-root level. He also coached India?s U-19 Men?s team before heading NCA.

<h2>BCCI wants an Indian experienced coach for team India:</h2>



A few overseas coaches have shown their interest in coaching team India, but BCCI wants an Indian in the first place to take up the position. As per the reports, the Indian board has communicated a few Indian prominent names for the coaching duties and is yet to get a positive response.



Ravi Shastri along with bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar will quit right after the T20 World Cup. Trainer Nick Webb has also confirmed that he will also bid adieu to his role post the showpiece event.



The BCCI is yet to post an official advertisement for the duties. It is learnt that the board wants the potential candidates to respond before putting out an official advertisement for the roles and responsibilities.



?We wanted the candidate whom we feel is best suited for the job to agree first (to apply for the job),? a BCCI official explained their rationale to delay the advertisement. ?We don?t want a situation where we get applications but no one is seen as ideal. It will be embarrassing for the board and for the candidates too. So it?s better to find a suitable candidate first, till then Dravid can be interim coach,? a BCCI official said.

Rahul Dravid to take charge of team India for New Zealand Series after T20 World Cup

Indian Cricket has been flourishing?by leaps and bounds?in the past years. The team has done extremely well since 2017. After a fallout between Indian team players and the management featuring Anil Kumble as the head coach, Ravi Shastri was appointed as the coach. The trio of Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun, and R Sridhar bid?adieu?to the Indian Cricket Team after the match on Monday against Namibia. So, what has been the significant contribution of this dynamic trio to the sport? How have they done so many things in so little time? Here is a look at the 5 top achievements that India had under Ravi Shastri: -?



<h2>First One-Day International Series Win in South Africa: -&nbsp;</h2>



Ravi Shastri was appointed coach just after India fails to win the Champions Trophy Final in 2017. He was appointed in July of 2017. In 2018 February, India went on to tour South Africa. After going down to South Africa in the test series by 2-1 in a closely fought series, all eyes were on what the Men in Blue do in the white ball series. In the One Day International tournament, India looked unstoppable. The team was looking dominant as ever. And Virat Kohli was in the form of his life. In a series of 6 games, India won 5. India outplayed South Africa.???



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/cricket-cv2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-80100" /></figure>



The first match was won by India courtesy of a masterclass by Virat Kohli. The second was won by India due to its dominance by?Yuzvendra?Chahal. And so was the third game which saw a Kohli ton and Kul-Cha Magic. The fourth game was lost by the DLS method but the dominance was?retained?in the 5th?game. This was the first time an Indian team won an ODI series in South?Africa?since the?inception?of the game.??



<h2>Qualification and Dominance in WTC: -&nbsp;</h2>



Ravi Shastri revolutionized Indian Test Cricket. He has gone on record to say ?Pitch Ko?nikaalo?Game se?.?Meaning that he wants his team to believe that irrespective of the pitch, the?toss,?and the conditions on-field, they?have to?dominate. They?have to?be aggressive. India started their World Test Championship Campaign after the fall-out in the 2019 World Cup in the Semi-Final. India won the two games of the series and sealed 120 points in their bag. Next up was the South Africa series and Ravi Shastri played his masterstroke. This series saw the birth of Test Opener Rohit Sharma.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/cricket-cv3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-80101" /></figure>



Rohit seemed an unstoppable beast. He dominated Keshav Maharaj, George Linde, and any other bowler that was thrown his way. Rohit went on to become one of the top scorers for India in the WTC. The next series was the Bangladesh series. Shastri made sure that India adopts the pink ball in this series. The iconic ?Pink Ball Test? was at Eden Gardens and saw Virat score a hundred. India?s dominance continued and they qualified for the WTC Final.??



<h2>Border Gavaskar Series 2018/2019: -?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/cricket-c4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-80103" /><figcaption>SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 07: The Indian Cricket Team celebrate winning the Border-Gavaskar trophy during day five of the fourth Test match in the series between Australia and India at Sydney Cricket Ground on January 07, 2019 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Mark Evans/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Now this series has to be mentioned in the top 3. This was India?s second clean series win in Australia since the inception of the sport. The series had everything. After a tight finish in the first game, Ravi Shastri as open-mouthed he is said in an interview, ?Waha?Goti?Muh?mai?that?. The Hindi translation for ?Had balls in my mouth till the last wicket.? just shows the transparency that this gem has with media as well. India won the first game. Australia the second. India bounced back to win the third. And the fourth one; it was India?s way but the rain played spoilsport. India won the series 2-1.??



<h2>Qualifying for 4 Consecutive ICC Tournament Semi-Finals: -?</h2>



Qualifying for 4 consecutive semifinals in the ICC Tournaments is not every team's piece of cake. It was certainly possible for the Australians in the early 2000s but since then it has only been India. India for 4 tournaments asserted their dominance at the global level. This began with the 2016 T20 World Cup and then the 2017 ODI Champions Trophy. Further the 2019 ODI World Cup and the 2021 WTC Final. Ravi Shastri made sure that his boys believe that they belong on the global stage.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/cricket-cv5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-80105" /></figure>



Ravi Shastri and Bharat Arun made India?s bowling a dominant force. They turned them into wicket-hungry chaps. The duo groomed and unleashed the likes of Jasprit?Bumrah, Shami, Yadav, Sharma, Navdeep, Siraj, Shardul, Natarajan, Khaleel, and the list goes on.??



<h2>Honorable Mentions: -&nbsp;</h2>



The 2018 Asia Cup.&nbsp;&nbsp;



2-1 lead in 2021 England Series.&nbsp;



9-0 Defeat to Sri Lanka.&nbsp;



<h2>2020/2021 Border Gavaskar Trophy: -&nbsp;</h2>



From getting bundled out for 36 in the first match to winning the second of the series, from doing a great escape in the third to conquering the fortress in the fourth, Ravi Shastri made the boys believe. This was a series where a full-strength Australian team was playing against a Kohli-less, Rohit-less, Ishant-less India. The situation of the injuries was so grim in the last match that net bowler Natarajan had to be drafted to the main squad.??



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure>



The streets will never forget Ravi Shastri saying,? This 36, wear this 36 as a batch!?. It was Ravi Shastri?s team that curbed the arrogance of the Aussies. It forced Justin Langer to say, "Never underestimate the Indians.??



To conclude as a fan I would just&nbsp;say, "Thank&nbsp;You Ravi Bhai, Cheers!?.&nbsp;

Top 5 Moments of Indian Cricket Under Ravi Shastri.

Australia Tour of Sri Lanka 2025: Australia, after having a dominating Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, are all set to tour Sri Lanka for a red-ball series. Cricket Australia have announced the squad for the tour today and Steve Smith is named captain of the side as Pat Cummins is rested.
Australia won the Border Gavaskar Trophy after a decade this year. The series started with Perth's loss for them and many ruled them out as a competition against India this time as well. But, they owned strong character and won three out of four test matches clinching the series 3-1. 
The entire bowling department was thoroughly in the best of their forms, the batting looked damped in the first two tests but by the end of BGT 2025, the entire batting lineup got some runs from their bat. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e141bad740.jpg" alt="">
Now, Australia has unveiled a 16-player squad for their upcoming two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, with a few surprising changes. Skipper Pat Cummins will miss the tour as he takes paternity leave to welcome his second child while continuing to recover from an ankle issue that plagued him throughout the home season.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh, who was part of the team that triumphed over India, has been left out. Adding to the injury concerns, Josh Hazlewood remains unavailable due to the setback that sidelined him during the latter stages of the India series. These adjustments set the stage for an intriguing challenge as Australia gears up for the Sri Lankan Tests.
<h2>Australia Squad for Sri Lanka Tour</h2>
Steve Smith (C), Travis Head(VC), Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Nathan McSweeney, Beau Webster, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Cooper Connolly, Todd Murphy, Matt Kuhnemann, Sean Abbott
Australia's squad for the two-Test series in Sri Lanka signals a clear strategy to tackle spin-friendly conditions. With only two frontline pacers, Mitchell Starc and Sean Abbott, the focus has shifted firmly to spin.
Todd Murphy and Matt Kuhnemann join the experienced Nathan Lyon, creating a strong spin arsenal designed for the turning tracks of Galle. This balanced mix of experience and fresh talent shows how the selectors are adapting to the challenges of playing conditions in Sri Lanka.
On the batting front, Nathan McSweeney has earned a spot in the squad despite falling out of favor during the India series. Adding a fresh spark, young Cooper Connolly, a left-handed batter who can also bowl orthodox spin, has received his first-ever Test call-up. His inclusion not only reflects Australia’s faith in young talent but also highlights their intent to embrace versatility.
Sam Konstas also retained his spot in the side. Alex Carey and Josh Inglis are two wicket-keeping options and the presence of Vice Captain Travis Head provides an absolute balance to the squad. With these selections, Australia seems ready to take on the Sri Lankan conditions with both skill and strategy.

Australia's squad for the Sri Lanka Tests emphasizes spin with Lyon, Murphy, and Kuhnemann. McSweeney returns, while debutant Connolly adds versatility. Starc and Abbott lead a trimmed-pace attack.

Australia strengthens spin options for Sri Lanka Tests, recalls McSweeney, and includes debutant Connolly. Starc, Abbott lead reduced pace lineup.

The next big destination for cricket fans is the upcoming mega event. It is the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to take place in Pakistan and the UAE. We are just five weeks away from the ninth edition, as the tournament will kick off on January 19 in Karachi.
The top 8 teams will be taking part in the tournament and will be divided into two groups of four teams each. But with a little over one month left in the start of the mega event, the drama continues to take new episodes.
Firstly, it was the tensions between the Indian Board and the Pakistan Cricket Board that forced the ICC to go for a hybrid model where India will play all their matches in Dubai after the Indian Board refused to send their team to Pakistan, citing security concerns.
<h3>Pakistan to lose the hosting rights of ICC Champions Trophy 2025?</h3>
As a result, the ICC added the UAE as the venue for Indian matches in Dubai, which will be a neutral venue. But it looks like the clouds of uncertainty have loomed once again over the hosting rights of the events. As per the latest media reports, it has been learned that the construction work at the three shortlisted venues in Pakistan is nowhere near done. There are 35 left in the start of the tournament, and the renovation work, which began in August last year, has not been completed.
The deadline to complete the renovation work was December 31, which has passed. According to the Times of India, the stadiums are still far away from the completion of the work. As per the TOI's source, some parts of the stadium are still under construction, and the finishing work will take a bit longer. The work to be done related to fencing and placing of floodlights and some other detailing work is still pending.
The three venues to host matches are National Bank Stadium in Karachi, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This came to notice when the PCB decided to shift the coming ODI tri-series in Pakistan, involving New Zealand and South Africa, from Multan to Lahore and Karachi.
However, the PCB has declined all such rumours and said that the work will be done as planned. Notably, the ICC will schedule an inspection, and a team will be sent to check the arrangements of all three venues. PCB will hand over all three venues to ICC on February 12. But if the shortlisted stadiums don't meet the expectations by then, the ICC can shift the entire ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to the UAE.

Pakistan are the official host of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, the renovation work is still going on, which has passed the deadline.

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in India Today, it is learned that the right-hander is likely to be there as the backup keeper for Rishabh Pant in the team. 
The reports stated that Sanju Samson's inclusion in the Indian team will depend on how the BCCI treats Gautam Gambhir. It is learned that if the head coach has the same say in the selection matters that he had during the Australia tour, then the keeper-batter might be included in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
The India squad for the Australia tour was mostly picked on the recommendation of Gautam Gambhir. The head coach played a huge role in the selection of Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy. But the team failing badly there didn't go any good to the head coach. 
Some reports claimed that head coach Gautam Gambhir won't be having a say in selection matters. However, if that isn't the case, then the reports in India Today say that the head coach's favourite, Sanju Samson, will be picked for the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
 Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup.
It is learned that Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup. This will be a massive step for the Indian team going forward, as Samson has been in hot form in white-ball cricket, especially in T20 cricket. 
Sanju Samson has made a staggering return to the Indian T20I setup as he slammed three centuries in the two series that were played. The keeper-batter also has a great record in the ODIs as well as he has an average of over 56 in his short career and would want to cash on that as well. 
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to begin from 19th February. The Indian team for the tournament is all set to be announced soon, and it is learned that Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, which will see some of the expected names.

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Sanju Samson to get nod ahead in Indian squad? Massive report comes on Gautam Gambhir's 'favourite'

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar is all set to meet captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir along with the BCCI officials to do the post martom of of the team's poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India team faced a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Australia in a five-match series. 
Ajit Agarkar will be meeting Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir on Sunday, the same day when the BCCI will be appointing Devajit Saikia as the new BCCI secretary. While this is one development, other claims the captain Rohit and Gambhir will be at the receiving end of some harsh questions by the BCCI.
The reports claimed that there will be informal and formal meetings among selectors and all the issues will be addressed. This will also include India's poor performances in the Tests last year. India faced a 3-0 whitewash at home against New Zealand and then suffered a loss to Australia. 
Another issue that will be addressed by the BCCI will be the poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the stalwarts of the Indian team failed badly in the entire Test season, and hence, discussions related to their future will be taking place as well among the board members and head coach. 
<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed - Reports</h2>
It is also learned that Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed, along with the rumours of things not good in the dressing room will be addressed as well. The source close to the developments told Hindustan Times: 
"The Australian tour, which immediately followed the 0-3 rout at home to New Zealand, was expected to decide the fate of many senior players. The 3-1 loss shut the door on India’s WTC final hopes, which is seen as a big setback. 
" Off-spinner R Ashwin’s mid-tour retirement and return home, murmurs of team discontent on tour, Rohit’s free fall in form that resulted in his sitting out the final Test at Sydney and the prolonged lean run of Virat Kohli has left Indian cricket faced with several searching questions. 
"All these are likely to be addressed in a number of formal and informal meetings among selectors and the administrators in the coming days." 
It remains to be seen what conclusion will come out once the BCCI officials meet. The next Test match of India will be played in June when the team will tour England.
