I still miss Sachin & Co: Wright [Interviews]

CHENNAI: John Wright, the longest serving foreign coach (2000-2005 ) of the Indian cricket team, still misses the company of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly , VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and the likes.

He took over as the coach after the match-fixing controversy and with Ganguly as the skipper, helped India come back strong. But when you ask Wright if "today's formidable Indian team is his baby" , the former New Zealand opener sounds extremely humble.

"It was more of a team effort. Players like Sachin, VVS, Sourav, Sehwag wanted to do well for the team and I think that was the main force behind our success . I still miss them," Wright said.Most Recent Articles
