Rahul Dravid, the former head coach of the Indian cricket team, has taken on the role of owner for the Dublin Guardians in the European T20 League (ETPL). He expressed his intention to allow captain Ravichandran Ashwin to have full freedom in making cricketing decisions, emphasizing the importance of giving Ashwin the space to operate effectively. Dravid stated that he will focus on assembling a competent team and managing off-field operations rather than interfering in daily cricket activities. He acknowledged that owning a franchise is a new venture for him, and he is eager to learn and grow in this role. Dravid is optimistic about the ETPL's potential, citing the rich cricketing history and culture in Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands, which he believes will attract a dedicated audience and talent pool. He sees the league as an opportunity to build something exciting in European cricket.
