Warne feels that Dravid is a legendary name in Indian cricket and is one of the most respected ones, while Warne too possesses the same. However, the Australian feels that the terminology of coach will be of no use here.

Warne explained the concept of coaching at the international level and said that coach is not a valid term at the international level. He feels that coaches should only be limited to the domestic level, while it should be more of a manager than a coach at the global platform. He further interpreted that one does not require coaching worldwide like the kids.
Warne pointed out that the coach should focus on the tactical abilities at the global stage, which is not a conventional coaching job. He suggested that it is more about man-management at this stage, and one know already knows how international cricket is played. "Sometimes you forget how to play and make things too complicated, and that's why you don't get coached at the international level. You are managed. Does that make sense?" he wondered while talking to PTI.
