Check out Glenn McGrath’s comments

Speaking with reporters during an interaction, the former Aussie cricketer spoke about his time at the helm of the MRF Pace Foundation. He said, “It has been 10 years (laughs)…the last 2 have been a little dodgy. It has been great. I’ve enjoyed it. Our goal was to continue what Dennis (Lillee) had done. I knew I couldn’t just come in and fill those shoes.”

“He (Lillee) is the best pace bowling coach in my opinion. It is about teaching the young guys, the next generation, to become self-sufficient. To see 29 of our boys and ex-boys playing in the recent IPL was a proud moment. Prasidh and Avesh represented India in limited overs cricket. I am really proud of them…proud of all the boys,” Glenn McGrath added.

Test cricket is still the ultimate to me. I hope that it is protected and still held in high regard.”

The former Australian cricketer also shared his opinion on One Day Internationals and shared how the format will continue to remain exciting as long as players are scoring runs. Glenn McGrath also went on to admit that ODIs are in trouble due to the rise of T20 cricket. He added, “As for the ODIs, it is still exciting as long as they are scoring runs. Interesting to see the future (of ODIs) and see where it goes. They have got to keep making it (ODIs) exciting. They have got a few challenges.”
