Team India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir wants everyone to play domestic cricket.
Speaking to reporters in Sydney after the conclusion of the fifth India-Australia Test at Sydney Cricket Ground, which the hosts won by 6 wickets on Sunday (January 5), Gambhir said, “I would always like everyone to play domestic cricket. That’s how much importance domestic cricket needs to be given.
Not only one game; if they are available and they have the commitment to play red-ball cricket, everyone should play domestic cricket as simply as it can get. If you don’t give importance to domestic cricket, you will never get the desired players you want in Test cricket.”
Further Gautam Gambhir was asked about Andrew McDonald’s comments on India ‘intimidating’ Sam Konstas at the end of Day 1:
“It’s a tough sport played by tough men. You can’t be that soft.
“As simple as it can get. I don’t think there was anything intimidating about it.”
Senior Players including India captain Rohit Sharma had a prolonged lean patch. Kohli too struggled in the series and was caught in the slips as many as eight times.
