But I will make my observations after being physically with the Indian team and then perhaps I can make some changes, if necessary," Fletcher said at his first media interaction after being appointed as coach.<br />"I am in a place where one cannot have a dictatorial role," he added. The Zimbabwean, who guided England to a memorable Ashes series win in 2005, conceded that coaching India is a challenge.<br />"This is new challenge for me.
