Kamran Akmal recently claimed that Indian Cricket at present has enough strength to field three different international sides. He gave his statement about the fact that India would soon field two different international sides.
The side will be in the UK for the WTC final and the five-match test series against England. However, on the other side, another team would fly to Sri Lanka for a limited-overs series in July.
The former Pakistani wicketkeeper-batsman credited India’s right mindset for their success. He applauded the strong cricket culture of India on his YouTube channel. It is that culture that has given India the ability to field almost three teams, international teams, at once. Akmal acknowledged the sacrifice India made at the grass-root level to achieve greater success.
Kamran Akmal gave the example of Rahul Dravid to prove his point. Dravid had coached the India A and U-19 teams before becoming the Head of NCA. He has worked with the BCCI for at least m seven years. Dravid played an important role in India’s success. He prepared the players at the base for international cricket. Akmal also acknowledged Ravi Shastri’s contribution as the head coach of the Indian team. Ravi Shastri has done a good job of guiding the players and the team in the right direction.
MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have done good work of leading the team skillfully
Akmal praised the captaincy technique of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. He believes that they have led the team with responsibility. Kamran Akmal also appreciated the captaincy options of India. With players like Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul as stand-by captains, India is not affected by the absence of bigger players.
According to Kamran Akmal, the BCCI has done a good job of supporting the players. It has factored in on the steep rise of India in international cricket. In IPL as well, when young Indian players share the dressing room with international legends, they get a confidence boost. That helps in inspiring them to perform at their best potential. Akmal further stated that every nation around the world is applauding Indian Cricket.
