This sort of bullshit is allowed to happen only in our country.

 

That the captain doesn't realize this and has been doing this for quite sometime is a crying shame. I guess he didn't care about it much since there was a precedent already set. This sort of bullshit won't fly with other renowned sporting bodies in the world.

 

That the BCCI is toothless to do anything about it and needs the name of Supreme Court to fall back to carry out the most basic things is the reality of sports administration in India. I guess it doesn't help that there are mostly politicians filling the jobs there.

 

End of the day Money rules and not laws.
