Former Australia opener and the current head coach of the Lucknow Super Giants, Justin Langer is “curious” about the Indian cricket team’s head coach role. The position will be up for grabs after current coach Rahul Dravid’s tenure ends after the T20 World Cup. The BCCI invited applications for the same on Monday night.
Well, I am curious,” Langer said told TOI when asked whether he would apply for the post. “I’ve never ever thought about it. I have deep respect for any international coach because I understand the pressure, but coaching the Indian team would be an extraordinary role. From what I’ve seen with the amount of talent I’ve seen in this country, it would be fascinating,” he added.
Earlier, BCCI secretary Jay Shah had made it clear Dravid would have to apply and go through the selection process like all other applicants if he wished to continue as the head coach of the Indian team. That, however, seems unlikely. Dravid was anyway not keen on continuing when his contract ended after the ODI World Cup last year. He and his entire support staff were given an extension, considering the T20 World Cup was barely seven-eight months away at that time.
