"Enough time between now and the 2nd test" - WV Raman wants BCCI to rope in Sachin Tendulkar as batting consultant for the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Former Indian cricketer WV Raman believes India would benefit immensely by bringing Sachin Tendulkar on board as a batting consultant for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
The former head coach of the Indian women's team suggested that there was enough time before the second Test for Tendulkar to join the Indian contingent.
Raman wrote on X:
"I think that #TeamIndia could benefit if they have the services of #Tendulkar as the batting consultant in their prep for the #BGT2025. Enough time between now and the 2nd test. Roping in consultants is rather common these days. Worth a thought? #bcci"
The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be the first time India and Australia will square off in a five-match Test series in Australia since 1991-92. The series kicks off in Perth on Friday, November 22.
