In a latest update, it is being informed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to reappoint T Dilip as Team India's fielding coach.
According to reports, the former fielding coach has been recalled after previously serving under Rahul Dravid's coaching stint and later for a year under Gautam Gambhir.
T Dilip, whose contract was initially set to run until May 2025, wasn't renewed by the BCCI. As a result, the Hyderabad-born, along with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and a few other members were relieved of their respective roles in the Indian cricket setup. As per several reports, the decision of their sacking was eventually taken after a meeting between the key members in April.

His contract so far is for one year.'
