Dravid opines that India must have a Test calendar in place, similar to the one that exists in England and Australia. He said,
The Indian legend had a major role to play in India’s historic Test win against Australia at Eden Gardens in 2001. Dravid (180) featured in the match-changing partnership with VVS Laxman (281) in front of a full house.

Dravid further explained in the report,
The NCA director also batted for better facilities at stadiums to woo the crowds back. Dravid, known to be one of India’s most sensible cricketers, added,
The second-highest run-scorer for India in Tests, Dravid finished his career with 13,288 runs in 164 matches at an average of 52.3 with 36 Test hundreds. He further amassed 10,889 runs in 344 ODIs.
