Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma
Rahul Dravid on Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer: India registered a big win against England in the fifth Test in Dharamsala and ended the five-match series with a 4-1 win on Saturday. The Indian team, captained by Rohit Sharma, made a strong comeback after the defeat in the opening match of the series in Hyderabad and won the series with great ease. After many senior players including Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami were out of the series, young players got a chance to play in this series. The youth performed brilliantly in this series and played an important role in helping India win on their own.
Dravid praised BCCI’s new scheme
Five cricketers, including Sarfaraz Khan, made their Test debut for India during the entire series and justified the decision of their selection in the team. After winning the series, the BCCI announced an incentive scheme to further promote red-ball cricket in India. Where players will be given incentives to play as many matches as possible. Meanwhile, Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid has praised BCCI’s new plan and has also expressed his opinion regarding the annual contract issued last month in which the names of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were not included.
What did Rahul Dravid say?
While answering questions in the press conference after the match in Dharamshala, Dravid revealed that both Shreyas and Ishan are in our plans for national team selection. Dravid said that everyone playing domestic cricket is ready for selection and added that he never considers whether a player has a contract or not.
Dravid said in the press conference that Shreyas and Ishaan are always in the plan. Everyone playing domestic cricket is included in this. First of all, I don’t set contracts. Contracts are decided by the selectors and the board. I don’t even know what the criteria are for this. I am involved in this – people ask me my opinion on 15, and I and Rohit select the playing 11. This is how it works.
