Previous India coach claims that the Ranji Trophy's common reflects this.
Thanks to the expanding talent pool, which presently covers even the most remote parts of the nation, Rahul Dravid claims that Indian cricket has grown to be an "extremely powerful" power.
A strong team cricket lifestyle, according to Dravid, who led India to the T20 World Cup defeat in June, has a lot to do with breaking the adage of city cricketers dominating the national team's ascendancy.
" If you look at Indian cricket now, Indian cricket is really sturdy, it's really strong," Dravid said during the 50-year party of Mount Joy Cricket Club. " One of the major reasons for that is that skill comes from outside, from all over the country. "
" If you go back to the time of, say, GR Vishwanath or even when I was starting out, most of the skills came from the major cities or a few states.
" Even if there were talented lads in smaller areas, they had to come to the major cities to play cricket. However, I believe you can see now that kids are emigrating from all over Indian cricket. "
Dravid noted that India's local cricket standards are beginning to reflect this.
" You simply look at the standard of the Ranji Trophy. In the old days when you played in the South Zone, different than playing Hyderabad or Tamil Nadu, I think it is fair to say, without being rude, that a lot of different clubs you could get it not for granted but you could certainly consider it a little bit more softly.
" I do n't believe there is a team in the South Zone today that you can confidently defeat." "
Dravid praised the country's league cricket system, especially in Karnataka, as it has made the sport accessible to everyone.
" We need clubs to be sturdy. We need to concentrate on ensuring that there is no shortage of cricket players. We need cricket to remain democratic, we need it to be all over the area.
You ca n't concentrate your talent or resources solely on one or two locations, he said. To get the best out of expertise, we need to confirm that young boys and girls are getting access to good equipment in every piece. "
Dravid recently recapped his team career to emphasize the importance of that system.
" After the practice, HAL [ Hindustan Aeronautics Limited ] would give us two eggs and one small glass of milk. I would generally be up for that glass of milk and those egg. No because I needed the eggs and milk. However, because I wanted to sit and talk to cricket-related speakers like Nandan or BK Kumar. And it used to be tremendous fun to listen to them and learn so much from them. "
