Lucknow Super Giants: The chatter around who would be India men’s next head coach has been a constant source of discussion ever since the BCCI said on May 13 that it was inviting applications for Rahul Dravid’s successor at the top job, with a deadline set for May 27.

Of late, certain reports have suggested that names of Gautam Gambhir, and Mahela Jayawardene were doing the rounds of being India’s next head coach, who would be appointed for the time period from July 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027.

But reliable sources have told IANS that Jayawardene, the former Sri Lanka men’s captain, “hasn’t applied nor has been approached for the top job and is currently happy at the MI set-up”.
