Vettori to mentor English spinners
Abu Dhabi: New Zealand bowling great Daniel Vettori will mentor promising England spinners during their ongoing tour of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
England are currently in UAE to play against Pakistan in a three-match Test series.
Seven spinners will follow Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Samit Patel to take take spin lessons from Vettori under England Performance Programme (EPP).
Former New Zealand captain Vettori took more than 700 wickets in international cricket.
He is also the head coach of Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore.
He will join the EPP batting and spin group, led by Zimbabwean Andy Flower, in Dubai for 10 days in November.
“Daniel has been one of the most successful and respected spinners in world cricket for almost two decades, so we are delighted to add his considerable experience to the England Performance Programme this winter,” Peter Such, EPP lead spin bowling coach, was quoted as saying by ecb.co.uk on Monday.
“I am sure that the players will benefit from working with him for the 10 days that he is with the EPP in November.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
