Shane Watson, the former Australia all-rounder,
has backed Rahul Dravid to do an 'incredible job'
if he goes on to become India's head coach. "At
the starting point, there is no doubt about the
quality of person Rahul Dravid is," Watson told
New Indian Express on Thursday (May 26).
The 34-year-old all-rounder played alongside
Dravid for the now-defunct Rajasthan Royals and
has revealed that he learnt a lot from the 43-
year-old legend. "I was very fortunate to know
him well while working with him at Rajasthan
Royals (first as the captain) and (later as the)
mentor and then learning about his cricketing
abilities," he said.
Watson is currently playing in the Indian Premier
League for Royal Challengers Bangalore under
Virat Kohli. He believes that Kohli has grown as a
leader this year and can combine with Dravid to
achieve success with India. "There is no doubt that
he will do an incredible job if he gets the chance
to coach India and also with Kohli who is continuing
to grow in this IPL as a leader," he said. "He is
an incredible man. He has an amazing amount of
experience to pass on to the youngsters."
The Board of Control for Cricket in India are
looking to appoint a new coach since Ravi Shastri's
tenure as team director came to an end following
the T20 WC 2016. They have set June 10 as the
deadline day for applications to be submitted for
the post of head coach and the three assistant
coaches.
"It is open to everyone, whether current support
staff, from outside India or within India. Anyone
who is keen to coach the Indian team or take up
other responsibilities," Anurag Thakur, the new
BCCI president, had said a few days ago.
