ROGER BINNY SKILLS

1.The success of the under-19 team seems to have vindicated his approach to a great extent. But then, as he himself readily conceded, nothing succeeds like success! This articulate and perceptive cricketer, who has nevertheless remained very quiet after his team's success, broke his silence to exclusively share with M D Riti his experience of coaching and managing a bunch of youngsters.

2.Other than coaching successful teams, Binny continues to hold his job as deputy manager, State Bank of India. And on weekends, he runs a fairly lucrative and successful cricket coaching academy for the young boys of Bangalore.

3.So, how did you find the experience of coaching and managing the under-19s in Sri Lanka?

4.It was quite an easy job. The guys were all young, keen and raring to go. That made my job so much easier as I did not have to get after them to play well or do things.
