WTC Final 2023: Rahul Dravid And Coaching Staff To Assemble At NCA To Strategize WTC Final Blueprint. The head coach of team India Rahul Dravid and his team will start their preparations for the (WTC) World Test Championship final 2023. Despite the busy schedule of the top Indian stars with the IPL 2023, they will assemble at the National Cricket Academy on Tuesday to commence their training.
In their second consecutive appearance in a World Test Championship final, India is all set to face Australia at the Oval from June 7-11. However, before the big final, they need to address several issues, including injuries to key first-team players such as pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer, and main overseas match-winner Rishabh Pant.
Additionally, the team needs to consider workload management keeping the ODI World Cup 2023 in mind. According to some BCCI sources, Rahul Dravid, along with India batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, fielding coach T Dilip, and other support staff members, would be meeting the NCA team led by VVS Laxman to discuss several issues related to the senior team.
