Whatmore's challenge

Dave Whatmore will get millions of advices on what to do with Indian cricket in his capacity of Director of Operations at the National Cricket Academy.

But even before he took charge of his job there was one advice waiting for him: NCA Chairman Ravi Shastri's.

When during a press conference, Whatmore was asked whether he had taken any suggestions for Lalchand Rajput, who is Director of Coaching at NCA, Shastri interrupted and said "I have given him only one advice: in India it's better to hear more and talk less."

Whatmore will do well to follow this advice, given his previous experience.
