Minz is coached by Chanchal Bhattacharya, MS Dhoni's one-time coach, Asif Haque and SP Gautam at Sonnet Cricket Club in Ranchi.
Recently, India batter Shubman Gill, the Gujarat Titans’ skipper, and other national team members met Francis at the airport after the hosts’ registered a five-wicket win over England in the fourth Test.
