Ending speculations, BCCI announced contract extensions for head coach Rahul Dravid and his staff on Wednesday following the team's dominant performance in the ODI World Cup before losing the final to Australia. Batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, and fielding coach T Dilip also got continuation after 10 straight victories under them. Multiple reports suggested Dravid wasn't keen on an extension over constant travel demands before changing his mind after BCCI's pursuit. BCCI stated, “The BCCI engaged in productive discussions with Dravid...and unanimously agreed to further [his] tenure.” There was no mention of the tenure for which Dravid and his support staff were given an extension but chances are high it is till next year's T20 World Cup in June in the West Indies and USA.
