Batting legend Rahul Dravid, who has previous coached India’s junior teams, has said that he is unsure of taking the role of Indian Cricket Team coach.

Dravid, who is currently working as a mentor of Delhi Daredevils, insisted that the job requires him to devote a lot of time, and he is not sure about that.

“Any decision that I make at this stage of my life would depend on whether I have the bandwidth to do all of these things,” Dravid said. “It takes time.”

“You can never really say that now you are ready and now you are not,” he added. “That’s an experience, a learning. You have to do it to only know. Everyday you do it and you want to learn.”

Dravid, meanwhile, is not the only one, who is in line for the job. Former Team India director Ravi Shastri is also in contention of the role.

The post of head coach is vacant since the departure of Duncan Fletcher, who was replaced by Shastri in a capacity of team director, but his contract expired after the World T20.

Anurag Thakur, the Indian Cricket Board secretory, said that BCCI will take a call on the next coach, who will be signed for atleast till the 2019 World Cup.

“Before taking any call, we have to discuss that within BCCI that who we want to hire for the next two or three years till the 2019 World Cup and who could be best for Indian cricket.”

“But I would like to assure you that we will pick the right person, at the right time,” Thakur said during an interaction with fans on a social networking site.
