timmy Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has suggested Test legend Rahul Dravid should be Team India's next coach and termed current coach Duncan Fletcher as an England and Wales Cricket Board 'reject', who has been criticized for his approach. Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Monday, he was asked on who would be an ideal replacement for Fletcher, to which he said, "I think the first name that comes to my mind is Rahul Dravid because he is enormously respected. He has been one of India's most successful skippers - he doesn't get much credit for that because his was a shorter reign.". "A younger person is needed because a younger person will have the intensity and will want to prove that he has the coaching credentials. Duncan Fletcher was a reject and the England and Wales Cricket Board had dispensed with his services and yet we took him on the recommendation of Gary Kirsten. We tried him for a year, year and a half, two years and nothing worked. Now is the time for us to take a hard call," he added. (Angry Gavaskar wants BCCI to sack coach) Kirsten was Team India's coach from 2008 to 2011 and helped India attain the No. 1 Test ranking and win the 2011 World Cup. Interestingly, Fletcher's name was recommended to the Board of Control for Cricket in India by Kirsten himself. It may have been a move that undid all his previous hard work. Gavaskar also said that it does not matter whether the coach of the Indian team is a foreigner or someone from the country itself as long as he can be an asset for the youngsters in the team. "For me it does not matter whether it is an Indian or an overseas player. I'm saying just bring a younger man, slightly younger man. You don't want somebody who has been with the Indian team for 3-4 years," he said.
