Indian skipper MS Dhoni has said
that IPL is a good platform for youngsters
to learn their cricketing skills.
He also said that this will pave the
way for youngsters to get into the
Indian side.
"I want to make more players
for ourselves. We are grooming Indian
players from under-19 or players on
the verge of making debut for India.
All those individuals rubbing their
shoulders with international cricketers
from India and overseas help them
in learning cricketing skills"—he
said.
Citing an example, Dhoni said: "We
had Manpreet Goni, Murali Vijay and
S Badrinath coming into the side.
And Suresh Raina is becoming a great
player. We are contributing a lot
towards Indian cricket"—he
added.
He also welcomed the balanced fight
between the Indian and overseas players.
"If the overseas players want
to find a place in the playing eleven,
they have to fight among themselves
and not against Indian stock. It is
perfect right now and I am quite happy
with the system of only four players
finding place in the final eleven"—he
said.
