India head coach Gautam Gambhir has stressed the need for domestic cricket to build players for Test matches. In his view, all those available and interested in red-ball cricket should participate in domestic tournaments.
According to Gambhir, the strength of the domestic cricket system needs to be maintained since it is the main source of talent at the Test level. He said this after India lost the series in Australia, with a warning that the team must look inward towards domestic cricket to achieve success.
“I would always like everyone to play domestic cricket. That is how much importance domestic cricket needs to be given. Not only one game, but if they are available and have the commitment to play red-ball cricket, everyone should play domestic cricket. It’s as simple as it can get. If you don’t give importance to domestic cricket, you will never get the desired players that you want in Test cricket,” Gambhir had said after India’s series defeat in Sydney.
The upcoming round of the Ranji Trophy is scheduled to start on January 23, and it will be intriguing to see which players from the recent Test squad turn up for their domestic teams in this round.
