Earlier on Wednesday, BCCI had extended the tenure of Rahul Dravid and his support staff. There were reports that after losing the World Cup, Rahul Dravid will not work further with Team India. According to media reports, Ashish Nehra was approached as the head coach of the Indian team during this period but he refused. In such a situation, BCCI decided to go ahead with Rahul Dravid only. Let us tell you that when Rahul Dravid was associated with the Indian team as head coach for the first time, his first tour was to South Africa and now once again he will go to South Africa after the extension of his tenure.
