'Pressure and politics': Langer reveals KL Rahul's India coach job advice

The hunt is on for India's next head coach with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) not renewing Rahul Dravid's contract after the T20 World Cup next month. Several high-profile names, both Indian and otherwise, have been floated as potential candidates and a few of them have already ruled themselves out of contention.

Former Australia captain and Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting admitted that he had been approached informally during the 2024 IPL and that he had ruled himself out of it. Meanwhile, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanath said that the team's longtime head coach, Stephen Fleming, is not interested in taking the Indian job, which could mean him working for most of the year.
