Wasim Jaffer interview: Majority of the states in India need a coach like Chandrakant Pandit to achieve success

Firstpost  

Strange things happen in sport. Now-a-days, any good youngster who is playing for a weaker team might only play one game as his team has lost and he doesn’t get another game for next three-four weeks. If the administration had cricket in their mind, they wouldn’t have ever let Pandit go because they played two finals under him, won one and lost one. Do you still think that first innings lead is the way to go because it doesn’t prepare the youngsters mentally for international cricket? So most of the teams have got better that’s why I feel winning a Ranji Trophy is a lot more hard work these days than compared to before.
