Dravid picked cues from Australian structure and created solid pool for India: Greg Chappell
Sydney, May 12: Rahul Dravid picked Australian brains to create a talent identification system better than Australia in India, the legendary Greg Chappell has said, lamenting the current lack of a similar structure in his own country that was “one of the best at developing young players.”
Chappell said that both India and England have overtaken Australia as the best in recognising young talent and providing them a platform to succeed. “India have got their act together and that’s largely because Rahul Dravid has picked our brains, seen what we’re doing and replicated it in India and with their much larger (population) base,” Chappell told ‘cricket.Com.Au’.

NEW DELHI: Former spinner Ramesh Powar on Thursday replaced W V Raman as the Indian women s cricket team s head coach, regaining the position more than two years after he was sacked owing to a bitter fallout with ODI captain Mithali Raj.
The 42-year-old was recommended by the Madan Lal-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) after interviewing eight candidates, including Raman. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announces the appointment of Mr Ramesh Powar as the Head Coach of Team India (Senior Women). The BCCI had advertised for the post and received over 35 applications, a BCCI statement read.
Now, with Mithali at the helm and likely to lead the team in the ODI World Cup in New Zealand in February 2022, this move could have the team on tenterhooks. It has been learned that Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) member Sulakshna Naik had pushed very hard for Powar’s appointment.
“There have been reports of a few players complaining to the selectors about Raman after losing to South Africa in the recent home series. But the selectors also need to be held accountable for the teams they select. This trend of players having issues with the coaches has got to be fixed,” the official added.
