expertise pool at the beneath-19 and A
stage, former captain and NCA Director
Rahul Dravid says all through his stint
as train with these teams, he made
positive that each cricketer who toured
got a sport unlike his playing days.
Dravid may be head instruct of a
Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian crew that
will tour Sri Lanka for a white-ball series
next month. He doesn't tour with the A
and U-19 squads any more but it
changed into he who made certain all of
the squad members performed on
tours.
"I inform them prematurely, in case you
come on an A excursion with me, you'll
now not depart here with out gambling a
game. i've had that personal enjoy
3. myself as a kid: taking place an A tour
and no longer getting an possibility to
play is horrible," Dravid ESPNcricinfo's
'The Cricket monthly'.
"you've got done nicely, you scored
700-800 runs, you move, and also you
don't get a hazard to show what you are
precise at. And then you definately're
lower back to square one from the
selectors' point of view, because the
subsequent season you have to score
those 800 runs again.
"It isn't smooth to try this, so there's no
guarantee you will get a danger once
more. so that you inform human beings
prematurely: this is the fine 15 and
we're gambling them. This isn't always
approximately the meant high-quality
XI. At U-19, we make five-six
4. modifications among games if we are
able to," he said.

Cricket Academy, Dravid has performed
a key role in producing the next era of
cricketers and a reserve pool that's the
envy of India's combatants.
In his playing days, Dravid stated the
awareness simply wasn't there.
"playing on the seaside and playing on
5. the road does not make you a cricketer.
It makes you a person who loves the
game. that is what we had. We had a
whole lot of folks who loved the sport,"
Dravid said.
"unless you provide that guy a proper
matting wicket or a turf wicket, unless
you deliver him a few 1/2-first rate
coaching, a few 1/2-decent health
assistance wherein changed into all this
inside the 1990s and the 2000s? there
has been no access to it. We have been
starved of knowledge.
"Even in phrases of health, we used to
look at the Australians and South
Africans and we used to look at their
fitness trainers, and what did we get?
'do not do an excessive amount of
gymnasium, your frame turns into stiff.
