Dravid was a prolific batsman having represented India in 164 tests and 344 one-day internationals with over 10,000 runs in both formats. He has been coach of India's under-19 and 'A' teams since 2015 and coached the under-19 men's side to victory at the 2018 World Cup.
“Mr. Dravid will oversee all cricket related activities at NCA and will be involved in mentoring, coaching, training and motivating players, coaches and support staff at the NCA,” the BCCI said in a statement.
