The gentleman’s game has changed like never before. The game of cricket has evolved from the languid days of test matches to the blink-and-you-miss-it Twenty20 format. Fitter, more athletic players are apparently ruling the roost. Whites to colours, the red cherry to the white ball, black sight screens looming large instead of the pristine white ones, the floodlights becoming the order of the day — these are changes that cricket has seen and survived. And one change that every international team has come to terms with is the number of people that has become part of the core team — the support staff. Gone are the days when the players travelled with a coach and a manager. The entourage has expanded and often it’s almost a second team that is travelling with the players.
