‘At one stage we gave up’: Ganguly on convincing Dravid to become head coach
BCCI Chairman Sourav Ganguly revealed on Sunday that he had to work hard to persuade legendary Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid to take up the job of coaching the men’s national team.
When talking with reporter Boria Majumdar on the show “Backstage with Boria”, the former Indian captain revealed that he and his secretary Jay Shah have always kept Dravid’s name in mind, and getting him to agree is a difficult task. “We thought of Rahul for a long time, me and Jay, but he disagreed because of the time away from home [and] because of the national team work is [approximately] on the road for about 8-9 months a year, he There are two young children.”
At a stage where we gave up, he was appointed as the head of NCA (Bangalore National Cricket Academy) to take care of it and move things forward. We have completed all the interviews and all the work, including his interview and application, and then he was appointed by the NCA. But even after he was appointed, we still insisted,” Ganguly explained.
The former left-hander and Dravid’s teammate also added that from his various conversations with the players, he clearly knew that everyone wanted him to join.
“When we [talking] with the players what kind of person they want, you can clearly see, you know, Rahul has a tendency, so we communicated this to him. I personally talked to him Many times [saying]] that,’I know this is difficult, but please try for two years, if you find it too difficult, then we will see another way’.
“Fortunately, he agreed. I don’t know what triggered his change of thinking, but he agreed. I think this is the best coach BCCI can do after Ravi [Shastri] left,” Gangu Lee concluded.
