2nd Test: Laxman Arranged For India U19 Team To Watch Day Two’s Play, Says Kanitkar
VVS Laxman: India U19 men’s head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar has revealed that VVS Laxman, the head of BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE), ensured that they got to watch the second day’s play in the ongoing Test at Edgbaston, where skipper Shubman Gill smashed a masterly career-best score of 269.
During the second day’s play, the entire India U19 team, led by young Mumbai batter Ayush Mhatre, along with Kanitkar and other coaching staff members, were seen watching the game live. Kanitkar, the former India batter, felt watching a day’s play live has served as great exposure to the young batters on how to build an innings in a red-ball game.
“VVS Laxman was instrumental in arranging this. He was the one who actually said that it would be a good thing to go and watch this game. It's definitely a special occasion for any upcoming cricketer to be at a Test venue,” said Kanitkar in a video posted on bcci.tv on Friday.
