Dravid and Mhambrey will assume charge from the New Zealand series after the World Cup - Reports

Rahul Dravid will most likely step down from his current position as NCA head soon. He will then formally take over as head coach of Team India.

Paras Mhambrey will also join him and serve as the bowling coach. According to a report in the Times of India, the duo will begin their tenure during the New Zealand series. Sources said:

"Dravid has confirmed he will be the next head coach of the Indian team. He will be stepping down as the head of the NCA soon. He was re-appointed as the NCA head last month. But the BCCI needed a strong candidate to take Indian cricket forward. He has worked so hard to develop the next line of Indian cricketers. Even Mhambrey knows this next lot of players like the back of his hand. So, Ganguly and Shah thought it would be best if they could bring both of them on board. They will assume charge from the New Zealand series after the World Cup."

Rahul Dravid has been lauded for the incredible bench strength the Indian team has produced in recent times due to his work with age-group and A teams. It will be interesting to see how the senior Indian team performs under his coaching reins soon.
