Atul Wasan, former cricketer of India says, “It is indeed a very good news, as he being from the field knows who is doing what and how they can improve their game. If he wants to get into coaching then it is a good news for everyone.” Ganguly, who once used to advocate the use of foreign coaches now believes that Indians are more suitable for the job.
According to a report by the nnis, Wasan also adds that Dada is a good man manager and highly respected among his colleagues and other new players. After the last year's World Cup win, Duncan Fletcher became the Indian coach on a 2 year contract but till date he has failed to deliver as Indian team has suffered a loss of 8 test matches during his tenure.
