BCCI under scanner due to absence of policy for not communicating with players while deciding to pick or drop them from squad

The Indian Cricket Team selectors and thereby the BCCI are under the scanner as there are questions raised on them whether they are communicating with the player dropped or picked in the squad or not.

As per reports, the selection committee are not informed about the reasons why they are picked and especially dropped from the squad of the approaching series. Indian Test opening- Murali Vijay, who was not picked in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming West Indies tour, is one such and the recent case.

There have been fingers raised on the selectors, after they picked up the squad for all the three formats for the West Indies tour beginning from August 3. While the exclusion of in-form players like Shubman Gill from the ODI squad were questioned by many including Sourav Ganguly, the absence of Dinesh Karthik and Mayank Agarwal too, who were picked in the 2019 World Cup squad has confused many.

BCCI has no policy of selectors communicating with players

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on the other hand, has no such policy which allows the selectors and Cricketers to interact or communicate personally pertaining their inclusion or exclusion from the squad.


As per the former selectors, speaking to all players at all times can be a very demanding task and not possible always either.

Gurpreet Singh is a Cricket writer at The Sportsrush. His platonic relationship with sports had always been there since childhood, but Cricket managed to strike a special, intimate nerve of his heart. Although his initial dream of playing the sport at the highest level couldn't come to fruition, Gurpreet did represent the state of Jharkhand at the under-14 level. However, almost like taking a pledge to never let the undying passion for Cricket fade away even a tad, he made sure to continue the love relationship by assigning the field of journalism as an indirect Cupid. He thus, first finished his bachelor's in journalism and then pursued the PG Diploma course in English journalism from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC). Soon after and since 2019, he has been working at The Sportsrush. Apart from sports, he takes keen interest in politics, and in understanding women and gender-related issues.
