BCCI has taken exception to selection committee Chairman Dilip Vengsarkar
and Indian team manager Lalchand Rajput's statements to media
over senior players' performance.
"If selectors are not happy with the performance of seniors, then selection
committe can drop then. But they should not go to media to discuss the matter,"
BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said here today.
The Board has asked Vengsarkar and Rajput not to speak to media
about such matters in future, Shah said.
"I have personally discussed the matter with Vengsarkar
and Rajput and cautioned them not to speak openly against any players of the
team," Shah said.
"Vengsarkar is chairman of selection committee and he
should talk to concerned players and discuss the matter with them. It is not
proper to criticise players openly," he said.
Vengsarkar had recently said that senior players will have
to perform if they want to stay in team, while Rajput responded by saying that
he should not have made such comments in the middle of a series.
