Rahul Dravid, the former Indian cricket team coach, has taken on the role of owner for the Dublin Guardians franchise in the European T20 League (ETPL). In an interview, he expressed his intention to allow captain Ravichandran Ashwin the freedom to make cricketing decisions, stating, "I will certainly be supportive... but I think honestly, the plan is for me not actually to get involved in the cricketing side of things." Dravid aims to focus on building a competent team and managing franchise operations, acknowledging this as a new and exciting challenge. He is optimistic about the ETPL's potential, highlighting the rich cricketing culture in Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands, and believes there is a strong local following and talent pool to draw from. Dravid concluded that the collaboration between these nations offers a vast opportunity for growth and development in European cricket.
