Dravid said that the players have all been in different situations during this lockdown period. “Some may have had access to space to run while some may have been in flatsGT and so could not do any running,” he said.
“So we will have to put them through very individual programmes till everyone can get back to a baseline level.”
He added, the players shouldn”t be too worried about their skills getting affected by the enforced break.
“I always try and remind them that this may not be normal for cricketers now because of the amount of matches that are being played but in an era just before ours, it was not uncommon for players to not touch a bat for four to six months. We have heard stories of Sunil Gavaskar taking up badminton in the off season,” said Dravid.
