The tenure spans from July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2027, aligning with the next 50-over Cricket World Cup. Rahul Dravid, the current head coach, received an extension until June, encompassing the ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA from June 1 to 29. The selection process for the new head coach will entail a comprehensive review of applications, followed by personal interviews and assessments of shortlisted candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Former Indian opener and current KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir is believed to have been sounded out but neither the ex-batter nor the BCCI brass have confirmed the development.
