The U-19 World Cup presents several challenges for Indian forces, the U-19 World Cup starting today in the Caribbean has succeeded in avoiding delays.
This is an anomaly in the world that is disturbed by a pandemic for the past two years.
However, far from being anywhere close to normal.
Children who participated in the tournament actually had about six months of cricket behind them in the past two years.
This tournament brings many meanings for ‘future stars’.
With the world coming to traffic jams, the supply line has also reached the road barrier.
This tournament is intended to run this line and bring fresh faces.
Read Alsou-19 is not a professional athlete, need to take care of them in bubbles: CEO of ICC Allardicewith U-19 World Cup starting on Friday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has focused on making everything easier for boys who participate in bubbles at Caribbean and ready to tweak the schedule if there is a Covid-19 outbreak.
ICC CEO Geoff Allardice spoke at the night of the tournament.
India played their first match against South Africa on Saturday.
Team, not like in the past, did not have a famous name.
This is the departure of previous teams who usually have some who have played first class or lists of crickets for their country.
There are players who go to tournaments with a reputation like Virat Kohli, Shaw Prithvi or Rishabh pants.
In essence, the batch has now been thrown into the deep end.
They don’t have competitive cricket for two years.
The system that presents Indian head coach Rahul Dravid has created a batch.
Captain Yash Dhull and his children did not have it, thanks to that pandemic.
It did not help when Dravid was eliminated at the work of the senior team along with the Lieutenant of the Character of Mhambrey, right when the U-19 Cricket in India was continued in October.
The U-19 challenger trophy has five teams and coaches from the country side selected randomly.
VVS Laxman took over NCA almost a month ago.
“In NCA last month, Laxman Sir and Rohit Sharma shared their experiences about how they took care of themselves from this level,” is all Dhull says about the guidance they receive.
U-19 coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar has been part of the NCA training setting for a while and he acknowledges the challenge to get only 45 days with these children.
“You have to set a realistic target.
It depends on how you see it.
45 days can be enough or too little.
You have to handle it and focus on what you can do.
When you usually get a solution,” Kanitkar said from Guyana on Thursday.
In such a scenario, the triumph of the Asian Cup recently in Dubai is the only source of self-confidence.
In addition to lack of practice and guidance, children are now forced to remain in bubbles.
Again, the Kanitkar shows no other choice but to be practical about it.
“This is the norm now.
It is better to get used to him.
Boys will learn from this before they graduate,” he said.
Historically, India has been dominant in U-19 cricket.
There is inspiration but also a challenge for this group to meet heritage.
