Rahul Dravid emphasizes listening to players amidst domestic schedule

India head coach Rahul Dravid said players need to be listened about the shortcomings in the domestic cricket season, citing that they are the ones who go through the grind and put their bodies on the line while playing various competitions.

Dravid’s comments come after seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur quipped about his



dissatisfaction with three-day gaps between Ranji Trophy matches this season, which can lead to injuries, and hamper the recovery process of players, especially of the fast bowlers.

“I’ve heard the same as well. I saw some of the comments Shardul made and, in fact, some of the (new) boys who’ve come into the team (have said it) as well.
