IntroFormer India coach links batting struggles against spin to packed multi-format schedulesBengaluruFormer India head coach Rahul Dravid has attributed the national team’s growing struggles against spin bowling to the lack of adequate turnaround time between formats, saying the modern schedule leaves little room to rediscover and sharpen difficult skills. Once famed for their mastery against spin, Indian batters have recently found themselves under pressure on turning tracks across formats. Dravid said constant movement between formats has taken a toll on players who feature in all three versions of the game. I remember having almost a whole month to prepare for Tests,” he said, adding that developing skills like playing spin requires sustained practice. Despite concerns in longer versions, Dravid backed India as favourites for the upcoming T20 World Cup starting February 8.
