That’s why I’m rotating the squad so that everyone gets a chance to play.”

Prithvi Shaw one of the brightest players who grew up Draid’s wing and the youngster catch everyone’s eye for his performance in the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai.

It’s really interesting that in the 16 months I’ve been part of this setup, it’s only the MCA guys who call asking about the performance of their player. Nobody from other associations calls. They did the same with Armaan Jaffer last year, and they’re doing the same with Prithvi. That tells you lot why Mumbai cricket is so successful.

None of these guys are finished products.That’s what my job here is – to make them aware of their shortcomings and guide them. I don’t care about the results, but if they improve, then it’s good for them. There’s no magic pill,”
