For the ensuing Caribbean Tour only four Players who won India the World Cup,Suresh Raina,Virat Kohli,Harbhajan Singh and Munaf Patel are available.
The rests are dropping out for various reasons,injuries,resting or plain disinterested.
The controversy raging right now on the choice IPL or Indian squad by players is unsavory.
BCCI is quietly washing its hands off by stating that theIPL owners are responsible for the players not opting for national Duty(though it is in whispers), IPl owners deflty delect the issue by stating that they are the people who have informed the player Gambir on his ‘niggles’!
Kapil Dev records that those who opt out of National Duty must be left alone as the Players have the right to choose their own life while Sunil Gavaskar says they should be dropped in future.
If we follow Gavaskar’s logic,shall we drop Sachin and Dhoni as well?
Sachin has been absenting himself because he wants to rest and play for a longer period in the International arena.
Dhoni needs well deserved rest
BCCI must remember that it gets a share of IPL profits, it plans the IPL schedule and hence it can not accuse the players of the franchisees of greed.
Best way is to organise the IPL in such a way as to give adequate rest for the players.
Once you have brought huge money into cricket it is natural that all will go in for money.
