Jaipur: There is a lot riding on the upcoming India-Australia cricket series since it will help the selectors identify the next generation of players, Rahul Dravid, the team’s mainstay until his retirement last year, said at the Jaipur Literature Festival on Saturday.
“Each series is significant like the series with England. But like India, Australia too has lost a lot of big players. So both teams are quite similar. But there is a lot riding on the teams. It will help them recognise the next generation of players,” he told reporters.
Asked how long he planned to play domestic cricket and the IPL, he said he was taking “one step at a time”.
“I will play for one year,” said Dravid, the captain of Rajasthan Royals IPL team. (IANS)
