Former India pacer Dodda Ganesh has applied for the role of the Indian cricket team's head coach.
“I checked the criteria and found myself eligible,” Ganesh told Sportstar . “I have past Test playing experience. As I cricketer I have also toured abroad (West Indies and South Africa). I have played club cricket in England.”
“And I have been coaching since 2002. I have coached in the Karnataka Premier League. I was involved with the National Cricket Academy, the under-16, under-19 teams. For four years I have been a state selector. Now I leave it to the BCCI. If they call me for the interview, I am ready with presentations on my vision for the team, the short-term and long-term goals.”
Asked what that vision for the team was, Ganesh, who played four Tests and a lone ODI for India, said the 2019 World Cup will take centre-stage.
“The next target is the 2019 World Cup. We have all watched 10 years of [Indian Premier League]. Most international cricketers have come here. So I know about their strengths, weaknesses, the road maps they have. Also what are our strengths, weaknesses, where we have to work etc. I will present all that in the interview.”
