Former Indian cricketer and head coach Dilip Vengsarkar suggested to the Board of Control for Cricket India (BCCI) to send Rahul Dravid to Australia to assist the struggling Indian team in the ongoing test series.
Pat Cummins (4/21) and Josh Hazlewood (5/8) produced a sensational performance as India collapsed to their lowest test score of 36, paving the way for an eight wicket victory and a 1-0 lead in the Serie. for the home team.
Vengsarkar, in an interview for Times of India, said that the presence of former cricketer Dravid on the networks will be a big boost for the men in blue. “The BCCI must bring Dravid to Australia to help the team. No one can better guide hitters on how to play the ball in motion under these conditions. His presence will be a great boost for the Indian team on the networks. In any case, the NCA has been closed due to Covid for the past nine months, leaving it with little to do, ”Vengsarkar said.
Dravid currently serves as the director of the BCCI National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. Vengsarkar said that the BCCI should send Dravid regardless of the mandatory 14-day quarantine period, as the former captain will be available to work with the team before the third test starting on January 7.
“Even if he has to serve a mandatory two-week quarantine period, he should be available to help the Indian team on the networks before the third test in Sydney, which will start on January 7. It is time for Dravid to be asked to be more involved with the Indian team, ”Vengsarkar said.
