I don't miss the warm-ups.

I don't miss all that stuff.

But it's just playing at the top level.

Once you finish playing, what I found playing franchise cricket was that motivation is just not there anymore.

You don't have that same drive.

Even when you were dropped from Indian side, you played franchise or domestic cricket to get back in or to be informed.

So there's always something and that has gone.

That's the difficult part of your latter stage in your career.

Uh, so he's put us straight onto level three, um, because his theory and kind of makes sense where if you're level one, level two is, it's obviously great to have, but once you've played international cricket or you've played some amount of games that you should, those are almost ticked off by just playing.

Um, but there's more to obviously coaching than just having played.

There's a lot of things I go with and I'm getting taught in my fast tracking is how to interact with different types of players, what to look out for, um,

and just how I go about my coaching and what sort of coach I am.

I think that's really important because you can just go into coaching, but for me, what I've realized recently over the last probably two, three months is I like the techniques.

Weirdly, I like the technique side of things.

younger players having good technique and then going and playing and then the rest the mental side of the game then teaching or just coaching that really but so i'm a bit more technique um i'm not really a at the minute i'm not a sort of head coach kind of coach or obviously that's the dream and that's the ultimate goal but is that where you see your future

Yeah, of course.

That's what I would love to do.

I think when you're in anything, you want to try and be at the top.

So that would be my thing.

But at the minute, I'm just finding my feet, I guess, and just more the technique side of things.
