The decision to renew the 64-year-old Fletcher's contract, which was due to end at the end of this month, was taken by the BCCI's Working Committee which met here on Friday.
"The working committee decided to extend Fletcher's contract by one year. Since he has been with the team for two years, we don't want to take a knee-jerk reaction considering the next big Test series is in South Africa. It will be risky and unfair on a new coach to give him charge in South Africa and expect good results from him," said a senior BCCI member.
