No secrets in Indian cricket

Posted on 11/23/2008 in Indian cricket

There are no winners in Indian cricket from the controversy over a selector leaking matters discussed during a confidential meeting to the press, says Anand Vasu in the Hindustan Times. He also wonders what the motive could be for the selector for putting that information in the public domain.

What this incident does is vitiate the atmosphere in the dressing-room. Just how much faith will RP have in (Dhoni), if he could not sway the selectors? Just how much confidence will Irfan have, if he believes the report that his captain threatened to quit when the selectors picked him in place of RP? And you can imagine the sledging when Irfan takes the field.

In the Times of India, Bobilli Vijay Kumar hopes Dhoni has learnt that there are no secrets in Indian cricket and that no meeting, however sacrosanct, remains confidential forever.

Ayaz Memon writes that Dhoni's remarks have raised a more fundamental question: Just how much say should a captain have in the selection of the team? Read on in DNA.

And in Cricketnirvana, G Rajaraman says much of the speculation would have been stifled had BCCI let Srikkanth speak for the selectors and offer some insight into the changes.
