Marsh was all praise for
the available talents in the country and said it was good that
everything is centralised in respect of the national academy
with good facilities.
The Australian, who was appointed consultant by the Board
recently when New Zealander John Wright was selected as the
coach of the senior team, said: "I will be holding a coaches
seminar in Bangalore in Feb next year."
Marsh would be holding discussions with other BCCI
officials in Mumbai to finalise the changes in domestic
cricket calender. During the meeting, Marsh said, he would
discuss and finalise matters relating to the state of wickets
in India and umpiring standards.
The former Australian opening batsman said, "Please do not
expect results overnight. In the next 12 months, you shall see the results."
Marsh said he had had discussions with John Wright in
Bombay on the strength and weakness of the Indian team. He
explained that since Wright is touring with the senior team,
he (Marsh) would concentrate on India 'A' and other junior
level cricket in India.
"The boys in India are talented and they need to be picked
at the right time for right coaching." Marsh said, adding, that
he plans to spend 12 weeks in an year and would extend the
periodicity at the behest of the BCCI.
