Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin shared that Rahul Dravid has entrusted him with complete authority over the Dublin Guardians in the European T20 Premier League. Ashwin, as the franchise’s captain and mentor, will lead in building the team and shaping its strategies. Dravid, co-owner of the Dublin Guardians, has intentionally stayed away from on-field decision-making, placing his trust in Ashwin.
Acknowledging the challenges of leading a new team in a new league, Ashwin expressed his and Dravid’s shared goal of establishing the ETPL strongly. Ashwin emphasized his desire to contribute beyond playing, taking on coaching and leadership roles. He sees this opportunity as a natural progression in his career, supported by Dravid’s confidence in his abilities.
Ashwin also confirmed that his participation in the ETPL marks his return to competitive cricket post knee surgery. Despite the recovery process, he is optimistic about being fully prepared for the tournament. The duo aims to make a significant impact in the league, with both Ashwin and Dravid committed to leaving their mark on the competition.
