As per the rules and regulations, Zaheer has to let go his job at IPL if he joins the Indian backroom staff and with Ravi Shastri already saying that he will need Zaheer’s services for 10 to 15 days, there is no point in Zaheer Khan letting go his IPL job as he is interested to play one more season. Along with that, BCCI pulled off his appointment by not giving him an official contract, which is seen as another reason behind Zaheer not going for the job.

Zaheer Khan was appointed as the bowling consultant of Indian cricket team till on 2019 World Cup on July 11, the same day when Ravi Shastri was appointed as the Head Coach of Indian cricket team. Along with Zaheer, Rahul Dravid was too given the job of batting consultant but his commitments with India A and U-19 meant that he was a mere a guest in the national dressing room. COA head Vinod Rai though later cleared that he will not work with the national side.

On July 18, BCCI, in a presser, appointed Bharat Arun as the bowling coach and also extended the contracts of other members of support staff but there was no word on Dravid and Zaheer. The former one already has a BCCI contract for a period of two years, so he would work with the Indian team when available but a word was awaited regarding the latter one, which did not come.

Even after more than 20 days, there is no confirmation, which has now resulted in the bowler now not showing any interest in the job and he is all set to take part in next edition of IPL as well. Apart from that, he also works as cricket commentator during India tours. Though Zaheer might agree for the role if BCCI agrees to let him play IPL and also give a suitable contract.
