The Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag, who is leading http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-c54739 Fletcher as nation team's coach soon after Gary Kirsten’s
departure.
Sehwag stated that an early appointment has given Fletcher enough time to understand players and settle down with the team before that start of India’s series against England.
"It's good for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. It's a good thing that the BCCI has found a replacement in quick time. It will obviously help the players and the new coach to settle down early. He (Fletcher) will get enough time to do home work before our series against England starts,"
Sehwag said.
After Kirsten’s exit, BCCI appointed the former Zimbabwean skipper, Fletcher, as Indian national team’s coach for next two years.
The decision faced a mix response from cricketing circles. The Indian cricket legends, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777, Harsha Bhogle and Michael Vaughan believed that
Fletcher can carry forward the legacy of Kirsten.
Fletcher, who did a fantastic job as England’ coach by guiding them to historic 2005 Ashes victory, would not be able to accompany Indian team for their next month’s tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 because of his personal commitments. However, Fletcher will be there when
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni-c73820 and company tours England later this year.
Avoiding to make any comment on Fletcher’ selection, Sehwag said that he does not know him much, thus, it is inappropriate to say anything on his coaching.

"Right now, my concentration and focus is totally on the IPL. I am not thinking about all these things. I will only think about all this once the IPL ends," Gambhir said.
Fletcher, as Kirsten’s successor, has huge expectations to come up to as the great South African left after taking Indian side to the heights of international cricket.
