Yashasvi Jaiswal's childhood coach on India's recent failure in WTC 2023 final

In an exclusive interview with republicworld.com, Yashasvi Jaiswal's childhood coach Jwala Singh discussed his prodigy that has taken the cricket world by storm and at the same time touched many other aspects of the game. Mentioning them, one of the pressing concerns is India's long-continued draught when it comes to winning an ICC trophy. The team recently had the chance to end the disappointing run when it met Australia in the WTC 2023 final but once again failure was in the destiny. The reasons for India's disappointing run might be petite or many but it is all in hindsight. We asked Singh to bring forward his thoughts on the recent defeat in the WTC final, to which he gave an explicit answer. Here are the excerpts from our conversation.

To be very frank, I feel that now is the time for the Indian cricket setup to identify players who play red-ball cricket more. If you look at the current lot of Indian players, they play a lot of white-ball cricket and they are the ones who represent India in the Test matches too. Apart from Cheteshwar Pujara, mostly all the Indian test players play a lot of white-ball cricket. In my personal view, the BCCI should find and groom Test specialists. It is fine even if they don't play the IPL. The BCCI should probably consider compensating the players who miss the IPL. You might have seen that many players score tons of runs in the Ranji season, but they don't play the IPL and they don't get the limelight.
