BCCI recently confirmed the tour of Sri Lanka in the month of June where Men in Blue will be traveling with Rahul Dravid who will be coaching the team on this tour.
As Indian Test team will be in England to play the WTC final which will be followed by the Test series against England in presence of regular skipper Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri.
Dravid has previous experience of coaching when he was appointed the batting coach on India’s tour to England in 2014. BCCI’s move to make Dravid the coach of the national side for Sri Lanka tour is appreciated by ex-cricketers and experts.
Former Legendary Pakistan batsman Haq too praised BCCI for this brilliant move in detail.
“I had mentioned Rahul Dravid earlier as well, how he started producing players from the Under-19 group, who have gone on to play for the Indian team on a regular basis. And even now I‘m hearing that the team which is going to Sri Lanka, Rahul Dravid could be its coach, he could look after it. I think that’s an amazing, interesting idea,” Inzamam said on his YouTube channel ‘The Match Winner’.
He also praised BCCI for improve the domestic cricket structure and taking steps to enhance the bench strength of Men in Blue.
“India are bringing a change in world cricket and I believe whichever nation strengthens its base, improves its First-Class structure, that country would be able to do what India is doing now, fielding two different international teams almost at the same time. If India is able to successfully pull it off, it will set a benchmark for the rest of the teams,” the 51-year-old said.
