Dravid may continue in dual role of wicketkeeper-batsman
11.10 IST   28th Apr 2003

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Indian cricket team vice-captain Rahul Dravid might continue in his dual role of wicketkeeper-batsman in one-day internationals, a national selector indicated in Vadodara on Sunday.

"Dravid has been doing a good job and there is nothing wrong (in him continuing as 'keeper) as he has proved his worth. And it has not affected his performance with the bat," Pranab Roy, a member of the National Selection Committee representing East Zone, said.

"In the initial stages, Dravid was little bit shaky but he picked up later, leaving no room for complaint," Roy, who was in Vadodara to watch the Ranji Trophy semi-final between Baroda and Mumbai, said.

Roy said that the limited overs game demanded different types of all-rounders, they need not necessarily be batsmen- cum-bowlers.

"Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar do different set of jobs, and it is the same for Dravid. The all rounders are expected to do different roles," he said.
