But if Dravid does take up the offer, his first assignment in his second stint will be India's tour of South Africa. The tour starts with 3 T20Is and as many ODIs, followed by a 2-match Test series.

It was Maxwell's 4th T20I hundred and he has now equalled Rohit Sharma's record of scoring the most tons in the shortest format of the game.

A run-chase of 223 looked very tough and with Australia reduced to 68/3, India seemed on course to seal the 5-match T20I series with 2 games left.
But entered Glenn Maxwell and ran riot.
He went into beast mode and single-handedly carried his side over the finish line with an unbeaten 48-ball-104.
Courtesy of his super knock Australia stayed alive in the 5-match series.
It was Maxwell's 4th T20I hundred and he has now equalled Rohit Sharma's record of scoring the most tons in the shortest format of the game.
However, the Aussie power hitter took 48 innings less than the hitman to achieve the milestone. What made the feat even more special was the fact that Maxwell was playing his 100th T20I.
While the Aussies stayed on track in the chase, quick wickets saw them looking for some inspiration at 134/5 within 14 overs.
But Cometh the hour, cometh the man as Glenn Maxwell showed why he is the best finisher around in T20s and helped Australia win with 5 wickets to spare.
A much needed innings by Maxwell saw the Aussies take the series to the 4th game now with India still leading the series by 2-1.

Gaikwad slammed a career-best 123 not out off just 57 balls with 13 fours and seven sixes, a first ton by an Indian batter against Australia in T20 Internationals.

Ruturaj Gaikwad displayed brute power and wonderful technique in equal measure with a maiden hundred that propelled India to a commanding 222 for 3 against Australia in the third T20 International here on Tuesday.
Gaikwad slammed a career-best 123 not out off just 57 balls with 13 fours and seven sixes, a first ton by an Indian batter against Australia in T20 Internationals.
The 30 runs that Gaikwad took off Glenn Maxwell in the 20th over could prove to be a game-changer. Skipper Matthew Wade's decision to give a part-time off-spinner 20th over of the innings backfired big-time.
On a wicket that had some extra bounce and swing, India had a shaky start losing their both their in-form batters Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) and Ishan Kishan (0) cheaply after Matthew Wade opted to bowl to make use of the dewy conditions.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav (39; 29b) looked set for a big knock with two sixes and five boundaries before debutant pacer Aaron Hardie dismissed him with a short ball just after the halfway mark.
With run-rate not an issue -- eight per over -- they needed someone to anchor their innings, and the Indian vice-captain Gaikwad played the role to perfection.
From 13 off 15 balls, the right-hander with orthodox technique, who often drew flak for his slow starts, switched gears after Surya's dismissal, displaying the wide array of shots in his repertoire.
His knock was not just about classical drives in the V but also a testament to his brute power. He packed a lot of punch in his pulls and an inside-out maximums. It was a different Gaikwad on display during last six overs.
Once he got his furst 50 off 32 balls, he then went berserk, taking another 20 to bring up his maiden triple digit score in the last over of Maxwell.
Gaikwad muscled Maxwell over wide long to to bring up his century with a six as he smashed two more in the same over that yielded 30 runs as India amassed 200-plus totals in each of the three T20Is so far.&nbsp;

According to the 2024 calender released by SLC, India is supposed to travel for 3 ODI and as many T20Is during July-August, which is effectively country's cricket season.

The crisis-ridden Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and its host broadcaster will have something to cheer about during the middle of 2024 when the Indian team makes it annual ritual tour of the island nation for a short six-match white-ball series, the board announced on Wednesday.

India opener Shubman Gill feels the experience of playing under "great leaders" in the India setup will help him a lot when he leads Gujarat Titans in the upcoming season of the IPL.
Gill has played under the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and played a vital role in India reaching the World Cup final at home recently.
Gill was recently announced skipper of 2022 IPL champions Gujarat Titans after their captain for two seasons, Hardik Pandya, was traded back to five-time winners Mumbai Indians.
It will be Gill's maiden outing as captain of an IPL side, having begun his journey in the competition in 2018 with Kolkata Knight Riders before heading to GT in 2022.
"We all know captainship comes with a lot of things, and commitment is one of them. Discipline is one of them. Hard work is one of them. Loyalty is one of them," said Gill in a video posted by the franchise on social media.
"And, because, I think I've played under great leaders and I've learned a lot from them, I think those learnings that I have had from their experience playing under them is gonna help me a lot in this IPL." Gill added that there was no dearth of experienced players in Gujarat Titans, and he would get to learn a lot from leaders such as New Zealand's Kane Williamson and Afghanistan's Rashid Khan.
"We have great leaders in our team, be it Kane (Williamson) or be it Rashid (Khan) or be it (Mohammed) Shami, or even David (Miller), or even Wriddhi (Saha). So, I think it's gonna be great.
"And obviously, there are gonna be a lot of learnings along the way, which would be my experience as a captain. And I see a lot of people making great memories," he added.
As far as playing the leadership role is concerned, Gill was the India U-19 vice-captain during the 2018 World Cup. He was also named skipper of India Blue during the 2019-20 Duleep Trophy, the India C captain in the Deodhar Trophy the same season, and the India-A leader during the New Zealand tour later in 2019.
However, Gill feels it will take him some time for the feeling of being made GT skipper to sink in.
"I think it's gonna take, like, probably till the time we don't play the first match. It's not gonna quite sink in. It's a great feeling.
"I was about seven or eight years old when IPL started happening. Obviously, it's a dream for any kid who wants to be a cricketer and wants to play the IPL to be able to captain a team. Then, to be able to be that kind of binding factor in this team, it feels amazing," he concluded.

Team director Mohammed Hafeez has stated that for the point of offering a central or domestic contract to a handful of players is to make sure they are available to play.

The point of offering it (contract) to the 20-25 players is to make sure they are available to play.'&nbsp; Haris Rauf made himself unavailable for selection for the upcoming 3-match Test series in Australia starting December 14. He is waiting for an NOC to play for the Melbourne Stars, a franchise of Australia's Big Bash League.&nbsp; He stated that a situation similar to Rauf's unavailability was observed during the Asia Cup and World Cup.&nbsp; 'There was talk of fatigue, or players were getting injured because their workloads were too much, or not performing as they should,' Hafeez revealed.&nbsp; The former Pakistan captain concluded that ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup, the country's cricket board will personally manage the players' workload and if seen fit, only then will the PCB issue a 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) to the player.&nbsp;
