The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sunday sought to scotch media reports of a rift in the Indian cricket team, saying that there was complete harmony in the team.
A television channel had reported that there was a rift between skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and senior batsman Virender Sehwag following the Delhi batsman's exclusion from the team in the last match against Bangladesh.
The report even went on to claim that the BCCI had sought a report from the team manager Aravind Ganguly on the matter.
BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla denied that there was any problem in the team and said that the Board had not asked for any report from the team manager.
"We have no such information about a rift in the team and nor we have sought any report from the manager on any incident," Shukla said.
Reacting to Dhoni's criticism of crammed Asia Cup schedule, Shukla said BCCI could not do much in that.
"The Asia Cup schedule has been drawn up by the Asian Cricket Council and since India is a member of the ACC, we are participating in the tournament. The BCCI was not directly involved in the drawing up the schedule," Shukla said.
The BCCI Vice President rather snubbed the Indian captain saying any player, who wanted rest could inform the Board.
"If any player is tired or finding it hard he can inform the Board. That is why we have created a large pool of players so that everybody gets a chance whenever it is required," Shukla said. |
