Ganguly to be the new Director of the Indian Team?


Recommended Posts

Its not the aggression or the ego, it was Dada's grit that I missed once he had retired. The way we were crapping our pants on overseas tours after his retirement, it made me wonder if all that would have happened had Dada been the captain.

The "Ganguly was a good captain" line would make sense if he was being made selector because he has an eye for talent. Ganguly as a "coach" - what has he done in that department? Nothing. His sting with KKR and PWI was an epic fail. You need to be really cautious before you let Ganguly access to the dressing room. Ganguly can be a good motivational speaker, good selector but I have serious reservations about this team director/coach thing.

Best thing for India would be for Ganguly to get into BCCI becoz he is only one in Indian cricket that can cope with the political side of things Even though his too huge he obviously is passionate about Indian cricket and we need someone like Ganguly to reform BCCI and make it professionals. We went through enough turmoil becoz of the proximity between Dhoni and Srinivason .Do we really need to go through again with Ganguly and Dalmiya . Even Dravid would be better off as a selector . There will be massive media glare on Dravid and scrutiny as well .We would be much better off with a qualified foreign coach with no baggage and proven record at least as a player

It is impossible to know from before, who will be a good coach and who will not be. But Ganguly has a good chance of succeeding. The main factor would be his relationship with the current lot of players. I would like one of Shastri or Ganguly to be the coach. Is Shastri not interested in continuing ?

Rahul Dravid would be far better for such jobs. He is far better tactically. For me' date=' he was our best test captain.[/quote'] true dravid is underated as captain

Relationships change and evolve. Ganguly hasn't got much to do with the Indian team of 2015.

What I mean is .... he has to develop a good relationship with the current bunch. They should be comfortable having him around and look up to him as a mentor.

Sourav Ganguly Agrees to Become Team India's High Performance Manager Ganguly's proposed role, said sources, would require him to work across the board. He is being offered the role of High Performance Manager of Team India, along the lines of Cricket Australia. He is understood to have been told to prepare a blueprint on how the Indian team can perform better abroad. The board wants Tendulkar to help upgrade the National Cricket Academy from a rehab center to a world-class training and research facility. He is also expected to work with out-of-form cricketers, the ones with problems in their technique and help them stage comebacks. Top sources in the Indian cricket board have also confirmed that they want Dravid as the Talent Development Manager, based in Bangalore. His role would be to work closely with the Under-19 team and identify talent for the national team, while also working with the NCA Source - NDTV :woot:

Assume it means Ganguly will be like BCCI buffer for cricket team and Administration. Power in over all cricketing structure and decisions but no influence in Selection Coach/Captain or playing XI ? If yes then great appointment .But hope it is not like the Strauss appointment ala Director of cricket. Also great to have Sachin to involved with NCA.Hope he asks Zak to join him at NCA.Need to reform the NCA big time Dravid our U19 :hatsoff: Hope these aren't just paper talk and soon announced
