Former cricketer Atul Wasan, who played 4 Tests and 9 ODIs for Team India, has now become a well-known cricket commentator. He could have played more matches for Team India but injury put an end to his career and he had to retire. But one of his statements is much discussed in this IPL season. Former Indian cricketer Atul Wasan has criticized the increasing trend of IPL franchises appointing foreign coaches.

Suddenly this thing started because the poor performance of some IPL teams this season has started a debate about the value of key foreign coaching staff. The list of criticism also includes Delhi Capitals, which has secured the services of Australian legend Ricky Ponting as head coach despite the limited success of the franchise in 16 IPL seasons.

When Vasan was asked about the coaching setup of Delhi, he had a lot to say, he gave a statement to India News that, “This is injustice to Delhi, what is Ricky Ponting doing in the dugout, is he just sitting there? Are? They are paying a lot of money to foreign coaches, so what is the use of them here in IPL?”

He has also questioned the role of foreign experts appointed by franchises. “Apart from the coaches, no one is talking about what is the role of the foreign experts they bring into their setup. By doing this are you trying to look stronger in the dugout than your team on the field? “In the 16-year-long history of the IPL, DC has reached the final only once in 2020.”

Echoing Wason’s views, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma also said, “I agree with Atul, IPL teams love to appoint foreign coaches, but what are they getting out of all this “

What do you think, should foreign coaches be appointed in IPL or not?
