Handling the media will be Fletcher's biggest challenge: Vaughan

London: Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan feels that newly appointed India coach Duncan Fletcher's "biggest challenge" will be to handle the media in a cricket crazy nation.

Vaughan wrote on his Twitter account that Fletcher will make good use of the talent available in the Indian team but being in the limelight is something he has never "understood".

"Duncan will work well with all the talent.. His biggest challenge will come from the media..he has never really understood how it works..!!" tweeted Vaughan, who captained the side that won the Ashes in 2005 after 18 years and under the supervision of Fletcher.

Former Australian coach John Buchanan, who was a long-time rival for Fletcher, said the 62-year old is a good replacement for Gary Kirsten.

"He's obviously got a pretty good track record on the international and county circuits, and he's got a pretty wide range of coaching experience," Buchanan was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

"He shares some similarities to Gary Kirsten and that obviously is something India would like to maintain, but he also has had greater experience, which should be useful for the phase the Indian team are about to enter into," he added.
