Zaheer Khan, a former India bowler, has praised the current system in place in Indian cricket for allowing them to constantly develop talent. He believes that the country’s enormous talent pool is what currently distinguishes the Indian team from other teams.
India’s strong domestic framework, as well as the young system, have recently been lauded. The U-19 team has advanced to the finals in each of the last three World Cups, winning the 2018 World Cup in the process.
“The talent India are producing at the moment, it is just like a factory. There is no lack of talented players, the system is constantly producing players. The pool of players waiting, that too ready to play at such a level, is the biggest advantage India have over other teams. The next cricket generation who are playing with India A and U-19 have been given great exposure and opportunities with shadow tours. With this, you get ready-made players which is why you get results like this.” Zaheer said
India A has already arrived in South Africa for three Test matches before the senior team arrives. The third unofficial Test is schedule for later today (December 6), with the score remaining at 0-0. Zaheer Khan
Rahul Dravid
The 43-year-old stated that one series is insufficient to evaluate the team’s progress under Rahul Dravid. He believes that the approaching hectic calendar year would be critical for workload management and overall team balance.
“Very early to assess the Dravid-Kohli partnership or the changes that have occurred in the team under Dravid. The long-term goals are always the focus. Dravid always been process-oriented. Winning the series will always be the priority. The key to balancing opportunities for new players and rest the seniors will be important.” Zaheer added
Dravid’s first T20I and Test series assignments have resulted in emphatic victories for India. His first overseas tour, to South Africa, will be a significant challenge.
