Victorian coach Andrew McDonald could further expand his coaching repertoire with the former Test all-rounder having interviewed to be the next head coach of the Indian Premier League's Rajasthan Royals.

Cricket sources have told The Age that McDonald has gone through the application process to replace Paddy Upton, who coached the side this year.

McDonald, 38, is seemingly a coach on the rise, having achieved immense success since his playing days ended in 2016.

McDonald claimed the Sheffield Shield in his first season as coach of the Vics in 2016-17, before winning Australian cricket's domestic treble last summer, leading Victoria to one-day and Shield titles while also steering the Melbourne Renegades to their first Big Bash League crown.
