Stephen Fleming not interested in international coaching ? Cricket News Roundup ? Part I ? October 15, 2012
Stephen Fleming, the former New Zealand skipper and currently the Chennai Super Kings coach, has confirmed that he has no intentions of coaching at the international level.
The veteran New Zealand batsman, who is known for his shrewd tactical abilities, took over as CSK?s coach in 2009, and has so far taken the IPL franchise to three titles, IPL triumphs in 2010 and 2011 and the CLT20 title in 2010. Despite his success with MS Dhoni?s domestic T20 side, Fleming does not have any ambitions of extending it to the international level, frequent travelling being a major reason behind his decision.
"I get my cricket fix doing this," he told ESPNcricinfo. "And then I am just enjoying living a normal life. With all the travelling I did as a player, it's nice to just have a normal life. It's great to be able to do this for a few weeks a year," he added further.
Explosive West Indies opener Chris Gayle is not underestimating Bangladesh cricket team, as his side gets ready to tour the Bengali Tigers early next month.
West Indies are scheduled to play two Tests, five One Day Internationals and a one-off T20 International against the Tigers between November 3 and December 12. Gayle, who missed last year?s tour to Bangladesh due to his troubled relations with the West Indies Cricket Board, is expecting the forthcoming to be a challenging one for his team, fresh from the World T20 triumph.
"It is going to be a very challenging one. We know how dangerous Bangladesh can be at home. It's not a team where you want to go there and take lightly," said Gayle.
Mumbai Indian?s pace bowling import Lasith Malinga has said that being defending champions has not created extra pressure on them, going into the latest edition of the Champions League T20, in South Africa.
?We don?t have any pressure of being defending champions on our mind. We just want to play one game at a time,? said Malinga while speaking to media reporters after Mumbai?s eight-wicket crushing at the hands of Highveld Lions, at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.
In Sunday?s CLT20 opener against the local outfit, Harbhajan led Mumbai side failed to defend a middling 157 for six, as Neil McKenzie (68*) and Quinton de Kock (51*) took the Lions home in the penultimate over.
