The Board of Control for Cricket in India extended the contracts of head coach Rahul Dravid and the support staff, ahead of the tour to South Africa which begins on December 10. The tenure of extension was not specified in the statement released by the board.

His stint, along with that of batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and fielding coach T. Dilip, ended with the recently-concluded ODI World Cup. Under Dravid, India finished runners-up in both the World Test Championship (WTC) and the ODI World Cup.

India will tour South Africa between December 10, 2023, and January 7, 2024, for three T20Is and ODIs, and two Test matches.
