As per the quote from one of the BCCI official WV Raman is planning to re-apply for the post.

“As far as I know, WV will be applying for the post. Under his guidance, the women’s team reached the finals of the World T20. And don’t forget this series against South Africa was the first in one year. He is well within his rights to re-apply and I believe he remains a strong contender,’ a senior BCCI official told as quoted by sportzwiki
