Sources have revealed that former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir is expected to attend an interview for the position of head coach for the men's cricket team in Mumbai. The interview will be conducted by BCCI secretary Jay Shah and other officials. Gambhir, popularly known as "Gauti", will be travelling to Mumbai today at around 12 pm for the interview, which is scheduled to take place at the BCCI Headquarters. It is highly likely that he will be chosen as the next head coach, as the BCCI has agreed to the terms he presented for the role. The final decision will be announced soon, and the meeting is scheduled to take place between 2-4 pm.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Gambhir had put forward a few conditions to the BCCI for the head coach position. This included having full control over the team, as well as separate teams for white-ball and red-ball formats. IANS understands that the BCCI has accepted these demands and is eager to appoint Gambhir for the role. The board had officially invited applications for the India head coach position, with a deadline of May 27.
As per the job description, the new head coach will be responsible for all three formats of the game, from July 2024 to December 2027. It is worth noting that Rahul Dravid's contract as India's head coach began after the 2021 T20 World Cup, which is scheduled for November. His contract was set to end after the 2023 ODI World Cup, which will be held in India. However, it was extended until this year's T20 World Cup.
