Kumble and Dravid's involvement good for Indian Cricket, says John Wright

Wright said that he is very happy to have worked with talented players of Indian Cricket as a coach, in an exclusive interview with The Times Of India. Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, who reached the peaks of their careers under the guidance of John Wright, are now coaches for India's U-19 and senior teams respectively.

"I just worked with an outstanding group of young men and was very fortunate in that regard. From that point of view, to see them getting back into the game in these roles, and giving the knowledge that I know they have as well as the good qualities that made them what they are as players and made them members of the great team that went on and did some good things, is so valuable for Indian cricket.”

"Twenty20 is the big change in cricket, and the biggest thing is that it's so exciting and vibrant. The IPL is fantastic and I enjoy it passionately ... being able to scout talent and meet young cricketers across India, in particular," said Wright. "What's also exciting is that there are quality players coming through who are successful in all formats, foremost being Virat Kohli. Just brilliant. There are some specialists around, mostly in T20 and ODIs, which has been the case for long if you look at one-dayers. But the guys who really make a difference in T20s are also the guys who making hundreds and taking five wickets in Test matches, because they can adapt their skills to different formats," he told ToI.
