CG Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Things don’t look too rosy for India cricket team coach Anil Kumble at the moment. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has initiated a process to find a successor for Kumble despite favourable results on one side, while news are doing the rounds, quoting sources, that skipper Virat Kohli and senior members of the team are unhappy with the coach. Kumble’s one-year contract with the Indian team ends after the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Former Australia cricket team skipper Ricky Ponting feels the time is ripe for Rahul Dravid to take over the reins from Kumble. http://m.hindustantimes.com/cricket/rahul-dravid-best-candidate-to-replace-anil-kumble-as-india-coach-ricky-ponting/story-30APp3c2Ex608wd5YswDlM.html Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Virat will have problem with Dravid as well. He just needs someone to collect the paycheque. bleaf27, Gollum, Rasgulla and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Could have remembered for long time what they achieve Dravid has worked with A team and has knowledge about u-19 players ,he might work with Kohli. Link to comment
Soorma_Bhopali Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Dravid was dropped from odi's by Dhoni . I am not sure Dravid will be there till Dhoni is there. If he becomes coach , Dhoni's and Yuyvi's days in team are numbered. Unstable Joe and Rasgulla 1 1 Link to comment
beetle Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Dravid should stick to coaching youngsters and stay out of this. He is doing a great job and passionate about it. These guys do not need a Dravid .They need a manager and a bowling coach. Dravid , kumble or any one else can be brought in during training camps to sort out any problems .

The Dark Horse Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Dravid will keep out of this circus. Edited June 23, 2017 by The Dark Horse GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hell no. I don't want another legend dragged to dust. Just get a yes-an like Shastri and get done with. Indian cricket deserves mediocrity for the sin they committed against Kumble. GoldenSun, wanted_desi, SandeepMotta and 3 others 6 Link to comment
nevada Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 No thanks! I don't like how the most recent episode played out buy maybe the current crop of players don't feel comfortable with former Indian legends as coach. Better to stay at a distance and have respect for each other than get together and draw the daggers out. Link to comment

Tibarn Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think Dravid said earlier that he isn't ready for the time commitment of being India's coach full time. Link to comment
MCcricket Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Dravid is an excellent talent scout n should be used as a facilitator or consultant to funnel players to the national side Link to comment

bleaf27 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Why even need a coach, kohli the superstar can handle it all, might as well save the coach's salary. If he ousted Kumble, how secure would the new coach coming in would be feeling? Might as well bring a coffee everyday in for kohli. I feel sorry for the other support staff, I wonder if they even have the guys to say anything to these superstars anymore rkt.india 1 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Everyone wants Dravid to coach but Dravid himself isn't interested in the job like he stated earlier. Its best for Dravid to just keep the under 19 guys in shape for the big league, he is excellent for that and should be commended for that. I don't think there is better under 19 coach in India than Dravid as at that age, you need someone who can mentally prepare you and keep you down to earth so you can make proper transition to the big league and FC cricket and only Dravid can do that at best, so i want our future Rishab pants and Kohlis and Rohits to be trained under Dravid. I hope Dravid continues to be our under 19 coach. beetle 1 Link to comment
beetle Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 The guy is passionate about coaching youngsters. He refused to be part of selection for under 19 just in case it comes under ' conflict of interest' . Cricketics 1 Link to comment

It was in the news that he stayed away from the selection process because he did not want any conflict of interest issue raised....as done by Guha. He also asked bcci to clarify the conflict if interest regarding ipl coaching because as far as he knew , there was no conflict under present contract. He had a 10 month contract for under 19 and was free for 2 months during ipl according to his contract. Cricketics 1 Link to comment
