The Newly appointed Indian cricket coach Gary Kirsten landed in the city today for his first interaction with the players since taking up the high-profile job which he described as a "real challenge". The former South African opener, who accepted a two-year contract offered by the BCCI earlier this week, said he had played a lot of cricket in India but now that he was a part of the set up, he wanted to understand the Indian culture better. Kirsten also added that it is a great honour to be associated with the Indian cricket.
"It's great to be back. I am looking forward to the work and am looking forward to meeting up with the guys. I've just come here to meet the players and really just to observe what they do," he told reporters at the airport. The 40-year-old Kirsten, South Africa's batting mainstay during his playing days in the '90s, said he had not put any plan in place for the team yet. "I m not putting any plans in place. I m just here to see how they play there cricket. I have played a lot of cricket against India but now I am a part of the set up, so now I need to see how they work and understand," he said.
