NCA mulls 5-tier structure, revival of 'emerging' team
National Cricket Academy (NCA) are planning to revive the 'emerging team' concept to get the supply line running. The NCA, under its new cricket head VVS Laxman, is mulling a five-tier structure to groom youngsters right from the U-16s to the senior level. Before the India 'A' team concept flourished in the last seven years under Rahul Dravid when he was NCA head, India 'A' and U-19 coach, the BCCI often fielded 'emerging' teams in tournaments.
