Samit Dravid, son of former India coach and captain Rahul Dravid, was on Thursday roped in by Mysuru Warriors during the player auction ahead of the upcoming season’s Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20. The Warriors acquired the services of Samit, a middle order batsman and couturier, for Rs 50,000. “It is good to have him in our side as he has shown a lot of promise in various age group tournaments for KSCA,” a Warriors team official told PTI. Samit was part of the Karnataka under-19 team that won this season’s Cooch Behar Trophy and also played for the KSCA XI against the visiting Lancashire team earlier this year. The Warriors, last season’s runners-up, will be led by Karun Nair and their bowling will be bolstered by the presence of Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna, who was bought for Rs 1 lakh.
Nair has been signed by the franchise, while Prasidh recently underwent surgery on his left quadriceps proximal tendon and is trying to return to top-flight cricket.
