The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Saturday stated that Rahul Dravid has agreed to coach India A and under-19 teams.

Earlier, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said that Dravid's services would be sought at an appropriate time and finally the day has come when they have come into finding a role for the former India legend.

Moreover, an advisory panel was formed by the BCCI which consists of Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman. The BCCI had said the three legends' guidance will be sought in preparing the national team for gruelling overseas assignments besides strengthening the domestic structure.
