Delhi: Taking a big decision, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has removed Brendon McCullum from the post of head coach of the England Test team. However, he will remain the head coach of England’s ODI and T20 teams. Now the ECB is looking for a new Test head coach before the next Ashes. In such a situation, according to the report of Daily Telegraph, the name of former Indian great player Rahul Dravid is also coming forward among the candidates for the next head coach of the England Test team.

Will Dravid become the next head coach of England Test team?

Apart from Dravid, the names of Andy Flower, Richard Dawson, Kumar Sangakkara, Andrew Flintoff, Mike Hesson and Justin Langer are also included as the next head coach of the England Test team. Andy Flower is considered to be at the forefront of this race. But Dravid’s name is also in discussion.

However, the biggest question is whether Dravid will be seen coaching once again. According to the report, at present Dravid has no desire to return to full-time coaching. However, the role of becoming the coach of England’s Test team may be different from his previous international coaching stint.

The report said, “Dravid does not want to do full-time coaching, but becoming the coach of the England Test team will give him the opportunity to stay at his home for a long time. At the same time, he will also be able to contribute to the development of his most favorite format of cricket, Test cricket. At the very least, the England Cricket Board must find out whether Dravid is interested in this role.”

Dravid’s excellent record as head coach

Dravid became the head coach of the Indian team in the year 2021. During his tenure, the team’s performance was excellent. During Dravid’s tenure, Team India reached number-1 ranking in all three formats. India had made it to the final of the ODI World Cup. After this, by winning the T20 World Cup title in the year 2024, the ICC trophy drought was ended after 11 years.

During Dravid’s tenure, India has won 14 out of 24 Tests. Whereas Team India has won 36 out of 53 ODIs. Whereas in T20 International, the Indian team has won 51 out of 70 matches.
