Players benefit from 4 day match – Hrishikesh Kanitkar

Indian Under-19 team coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar also talked about other aspects apart from Samit Dravid. He told that the idea of ​​playing such 4-day matches at Under 19 level is a good start. This will be an ideal challenge not only for the batsman and bowler but also for the fielder. I think it is a good thing to play such matches against foreign teams. I had also played such matches with foreign teams. There is a lot of benefit from such matches. This will be a great series for the players.
