The reasons for discontent are a couple of. Picture this: India’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan performs within the IPL for a franchise this is being coached via Australia’s national assistant coach Ricky Ponting and the crew analyst working along Ponting, Sriram Somayajula, additionally serves the Sri Lankan national crew in the similar capability.
“Imagine the level to which they understand Dhawan the cricketer. What clicks for him… what doesn’t... It’s obviously dangerous. Rishabh, Prithvi, Shreyas — see the quantity of analysis they’re having the ability to accumulate” is how Team India sees the composition.
Another instance of the similar is Cricket South Africa’s Chennai-based analyst Prasanna Agoram working with the Kings XI Punjab.
“The amount of work Prasanna has installed with the South African national crew is super. We were given to know about it first hand once we visited South Africa last year. Now, this man gets to spend two months right right here within the Indian domestic circuit just weeks prior to he’ll accompany South Africa to the World Cup. This just doesn’t sound right,” say some members of the Indian cricket crew.
There’s no grouse so troubling that the players intend to approach the BCCI or the Committee of Administrators (CoA) right away. Yet, there’s a nagging thought behind this belief that’s simplest rising.
“We don’t suppose it’s effective for Australia’s national assistant coach (Ponting) to be spending time with the Indian crew opener just weeks ahead of a World Cup campaign, and even in a different way with a franchise that includes India's four Test cricketers. Of path, the IPL’s a unfastened marketplace however some lines have to be drawn,” they upload.
That boils right down to a long-standing query if IPL, certainly, is a unfastened marketplace as the players believe it to be. Because if it were, then players who aren’t picked via franchises on the mega auctions conducted via the BCCI, or coaches who work within the vast Indian domestic circuit all the way through the year, should be allowed to search out employment in leagues in another country.
“The BCCI has its policies. It doesn’t topic who put them in place – whether it was the previous status quo or the Supreme Court or this present management (COA); but the level is that IPL doesn’t have a uniform coverage in place. There can’t be apples and oranges,” believes the Team India camp.
Many within the cricket fraternity were left surprised on Wednesday when Delhi Capitals' mentor Sourav Ganguly – who is being queried for possible war of interest – mentioned his colleague on the franchise, Ponting, should be the coach of the Indian national crew.
“That’s indisputably now not war, right? Conflict is when Rahul Dravid associates himself with a franchise while working with the junior Indian national crew. That’s how weird Indian cricket management and its policies have turn into,” say two junior India players who earned their stripes under Dravid.
Their contention is modest: “If players like Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman are not associated with IPL, whose loss is it? Look at Pravin Amre. He’s certainly one of India’s best batting coaches. Just as a result of he needs to stay his IPL process, he can’t work with every other state crew or NCA. But Tom Moody can coach Sunrisers and head the Caribbean Premier League too.”
The one transparent grouse here is “why can’t the BCCI have a uniform coverage? If Sanjay Bangar – who is the assistant Team India coach – can’t work with IPL, then so shouldn’t a overseas (assistant) coach. Simple. Isn’t that how it works globally in, let’s say, football?” say players.
