India can dominate world cricket for years: Duncan Fletcher

ANTIGUA: When Duncan Fletcher stepped in to take over as India coach from Gary Kirsten, he said it was promising young talent which had lured him to Indian cricket. Now, having seen some stellar displays of character as a second-string, virtual India A squad romped to a ODI series win against the West Indies - Suresh Rainas men lead 3-0 in the five-match series - Fletcher believes the world champions have sufficient bench-strength to dominate world cricket for the next five to 10 years. It is due to the amount of talent India have, Fletcher explained. Indian cricket is in a very, very healthy state presently. I know five years in international cricket is a long time but unless some international teams suddenly come up big, I dont see it happening (India losing its grip). Its a provocative statement from the low-key, soft-spoken veteran coach who has mastered the art of working behind the scenes, but a clear indication that Indian crickets transition from the era of Tendulkars and Laxmans to the Virat Kohlis and Rohit Sharmas might not be as bumpy as Australias.
