Dravid to continue as India A and U-19 team coach for next two years

New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that former India batsman Rahul Dravid will continue as coach of the India A and U-19 teams for the next two years. Dravid steps down as Delhi Daredevils mentor.

Conforming to the recommendations of the Lodha Committee, Dravid’s new contract will run for 12 months each year as opposed to the 10-month contract he had previously.

But he won’t continue in his role as Delhi Daredevils’ mentor, in accordance with the conflict-of-interest rules.

The franchise confirmed the development in a statement.

“It was an honour and privilege to have Rahul Dravid as mentor of the Delhi Daredevils over the last two years. We truly enjoyed our association and nurtured some great young talent together. We’re sad that he’ll not continue with us as mentor as he chooses to serve India A as a coach. We wish him all the best.”
