Coaching was important to groom future cricketers from Asian countries but experience and instinctive learning also played a major role, former India skipper Rahul Dravid said today.
"I am all for an instinctive way of learning. Players in Asia have a lot of skill and platforms for their development in the form of wickets, stadiums and facilities," Dravid said at a function in Mumbai to announce the launch of the Castrol Asian Cricket Awards.
Players should not have to undergo excessive coaching and should be allowed to obtain varied experiences which would help them learn more, he said.
"The coach creates the environment for the youth to explore their skills but it is one's experiences that teach you. Players may initially need a mentor or guide and need to have a platform for their growth," Dravid said.
