India coach Rahul Dravid has called for hearing players about tough domestic schedule and has asked for a review about the same. Dravid made the comments after India wrapped up the five-match Test series against England with a 4-1 win in Dharamsala on Saturday (Mar 9).
Notably, India all-rounder Shardul Thakur had raised the issue of three-day gaps between the games in the ongoing Ranji Trophy (India’s premier domestic tournament) after winning the semi-final for Mumbai.
“I saw some of the comments Shardul [Thakur], I think, made and, in fact, some of the [new] boys who’ve come into the team [have said it] as well,” said Dravid after India beat England by an innings and 64 runs in Dharamsala Test.
