Team management rejected BCCI's idea to send Test regulars early to acclimatise, claims report

[PBN]

india are slow starters overseas and are always playing catch up.

[mishra]

Lets not go overboard. We were lucky that Africa decided to bat first after winning the toss. Had they put us to bat it would have been innings defeat

How many warm up matches of the sort I suggested did they play before setting off for the tour?May be one or most probably 2.That's not at all enough.Minimum of 5 to 6 such matches needed to have played in the most fastest of pitches and seam conditions in India.But,despite  having all the facilities, they didn't do that, which is the most unfortunate thing.

On a side note, never expect much from this BCCI and the core, one will get only disappointed.When money is all that matters, such results are the order, any way.

Agree

Humare Kaptaan Ki Shaddi Hai! 

 

“The BCCI had offered Indian team management that the core group of Test team can be sent to South Africa early. Players like Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane are not part of limited-overs cricket and were playing local cricket here. The BCCI was ready to bear the cost, but team management showed no interest and declined the offer,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

 

“We were even ready to let top players skip One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 (T20) legs of the series against Sri Lanka.”

Just shows how much they care about overseas Tests anymore.. It's more like family vacation

[beetle]

Who is the boss here?

BCCI should hold the management accountable.

Increasing brand value of kohli's reception was not the team's job.

Can't blame the individual players when there is unabashed bias in team 11 selection.

Hope shastri and kohli are made accountable .

if true,thats pathetic from kohli and co 

[Sgattick10]

The BCCI should haven taken some action then, ab ro ke kya fayda jab chidiya chuk gayee khet. Warm up matches should be made mandatory for Indian players whem they play abroad. 

[SK_IH]

and if it indeed this is true ,this is another example of Kohli's lip service

[Gollum]

Kohli should be sacked if this is true. He is all about PR and brand management, he doesn't give two hoots about Team India. 

[Shunya]

What difference does it make? Kohli already mentioned that they were fully prepared before the match. They even cancelled a warm up game. May be overconfidence, but thats what comes with this false sense of aggression. 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Yea at times we blame BCCI a lot, someone in team mngmt shud be held liable for this specially coach as its coach job to prep team and captain shud get a wacking for not caring about it

[Malcolm Merlyn]

The Captain and his cheerleader.

This is why Shastri should have never been made Team India coach.

[wanted_desi]

Kaptaan is only serious about 6 packs and fitness, he doesn't give a hoot about preparation. I hope Shahstri gets sacked after this series, as coach isn't someone who can teach these players how to play. But, he is very important person when it comes to team selection, practice matches and making decisions such as this one. 

 

I would say Kohli should also be sacked if this series turns out to be a disaster, the guy is a horrible captain.

[Gollum]

This is precisely the reason why the legend Anil Kumble was sacked, I have had enough with this brat and his starry tantrums, we need another captain and another coach.

What can a coach do against the captain’s wish when he himself is in the job bcos of captain? We all saw what happened with Kumble. The coach is a mere PR puppet.

[Turning_track]

Flock of headless chicken to put simply.  Though BCCI doesn't come clean in scheduling and preparing an itinerary, team India management is equally responsible for lack of preparation & proper acclamatisation. 

Coach & support staff, test regulars-you must be ashamed of your loose &  lackadaisical attitude towards such an important overseas tour.
