The end of the T20 World Cup 2024 also marks the end of the tenure of current head coach Rahul Dravid. Notably, the BCCI has already advertised for the position of head coach, with the deadline being May 27. Notably, the tenure of the next coach will end just after the ODI World Cup 2027, which is slated to take place in South Africa. It means that he is also set to play a crucial role in the Champions Trophy 2025 and the T20 World Cup 2026.
Some sources have revealed that the BCCI has been approaching Gautam Gambhir, Stephen Fleming, Ricky Ponting, and many others. However, some news has revealed that the BCCI has already been in talks with Fleming, who has been the coach of CSK over the years, and the New Zealander knows Indian players very well with their conditions.
"I have not heard anything like this. There has been no communication from Stephen Fleming to CSK either," CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told Sports Now.

However, there are reports that the head coach needs to be there with the India cricket team for around 10 months in a year. Meanwhile, the BCCI has revealed their qualifications, experience, knowledge, and skills that they needed from the upcoming Indian head coach.
