Former India Captain Launches Scathing Attack on BCCI
Former Indian captain Dilip Vengsarkar has launched a sharp attack on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), selectors, and team management for their lack of vision. Vengsarkar pointed to the appointment of Shikhar Dhawan as captain of the team during the 2021 tour of Sri Lanka as an example of the lack of vision from the selectors.
Vengsarkar Criticizes Selectors
The ex-chief selector expressed his disappointment in the selectors of the last six to seven years, claiming they lacked the vision, deep knowledge, and cricketing sense to make the right decisions. He noted that the decision to make Dhawan India captain was made when the main players were unavailable, and that this was a time to groom the future captain.
Rohit Sharma’s Recent Performance
The current captain of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma, has recently come under fire for his lack of success in leading the team in the Asia Cup, T20 World Cup, and the World Test Championship Finals. In light of these events, there is speculation that the team management is looking for a new leader.
Conclusion
Dilip Vengsarkar has raised some serious questions about the decisions made by the selectors and team management of the Indian cricket team. While Rohit Sharma is currently the captain of the team, his recent performances have led to speculation that a new leader may be sought. It remains to be seen how the BCCI will respond to Vengsarkar’s criticism.
