Mysuru: Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Director Cricket Operations Mike Hesson has made it clear that he has moved on from the being beaten by Ravi Shastri to the Team India head coach’s job and is now looking forward to his role with RCB.
“I went through the process and I am happy with the process. I wish Ravi and the team the best of luck,” said Hesson on the sidelines of the Redmi Karnataka Premier League, powered by Dream11.
The Kiwi is in Mysuru on a commentary stint. “As a coach, you’re always going to be judged only as a coach. Within any coaching group, though, you need plenty of playing experience. That said, I think it’s more about the combination of coaches. I am sure Team India has put together a good crew.” Commenting on his role with RCB, Hesson said: “The first month or two is just about getting to know the people, what works and what doesn’t. It’s one thing to get news from afar, another thing entirely to immerse yourself in the team. In that sense, we’ll have a wait a while and see how things play out.”Talent in India is never an issue. In all areas of the game, India has a huge talent pool. It’s really about maximising talent, that’s what our job is as coaches.
That will be my role as director of operations. If we get the right people in place, things will naturally fall into place. It’s about creating an environment where players can go and express themselves.” (IANS)
