How serious is the injury of Rahul Dravid's son? It became difficult for India to play in this match.
Rahul Dravid's son Samit has been selected for the match against Australia Under 19. Samit Dravid was kept out of the ODI series between India and Australia's Under 19 teams. And now it seems that he will not be able to play the 4-day match played with red ball in Chennai. India's Under 19 team coach Rishikesh Kanitkar has also expressed this apprehension. According to Kanitkar, Samit Dravid's recovery is difficult at the moment.
Samit Dravid is suffering from a knee injury.
Samit Dravid has a knee injury. Rishikesh Kanitkar said that Samit is currently in NCA and is trying to recover from his knee injury. I don't know what his status is right now. One thing is certain it seems difficult for him to play the 4-day match against Australia A.
Samit Dravid, son of former cricketer and head coach of the Indian team Rahul Dravid, was selected for the India A team for the first time. He was given this opportunity given his performance for Mysore Warriors in the Maharaja T20 and the Cooch Behar Trophy.
Samit Dravid's treatment is going on in NCA.
The first 4-day match between India and Australia's Under 19 team is starting on 30 September at Chepauk. On the eve of this match, Kanitkar gave an update about Samit Dravid. However, he did not tell when Samit Dravid suffered a knee injury and how serious it was. He just shared information about the treatment going on at NCA.
Players benefit from 4-day matches- Rishikesh Kanitkar.
Apart from Samit Dravid, India's Under 19 team coach Rishikesh Kanitkar also talked about other aspects. He said that the idea of playing such 4-day matches at the Under 19 level is a good start.
This will be an ideal challenge not only for the batsman and bowler but also for the fielders. I think it is a good thing to play such matches against foreign teams. I too have played such matches with foreign teams. Such matches are very beneficial. This will be a great series for the players.
