Kumble calls for a special meeting with Dravid, Dhoni and Kohli

Newly appointed chief national coach Anil Kumble is planning to chalk up a roadmap for Indian cricket along with A team coach Rahul Dravid and limited overs captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

It is learnt that Kumble wants to discuss about integration of U-19, A and senior teams wherein the supply line for the main team will be strengthened.

The discussion with Dravid will be with an idea of what's in store as far as talent is concerned in the U-19 and A team ranks.

Currently the India A team bowlers are also training at the NCA alongside the senior India team.

Kumble was seen keeping a close eye on 'A' team spinners like Jayant Yadav and Shahbaz Nadeem. Both youngsters acknowledged to BCCI.TV that guidance from Kumble has proved to be invaluable.
