Angry BCCI stops County players to train in India

[IndianWillow]

what? not a single fan defending BCCI here? am I the only one who fights against the slander against our beloved BCCI?

England media should be the last one to complain..they were whinging when australians were playing county cricket before the ashes.

The BCCI is so corrupt that all its actions are to be viewed as negative until proved other wise. The only people who differ from this view are probably paid employees of BCCI. The fact that BCCI does not even have a probleem in openly displaying conflict of interests (for eg, Dhoni-Srinivasan connection, BCCI-Rhiti Sports connection) shows how much more goes behind the scenes.

No reliable source. All conspiracy theories and assumptions.

But these counties have all cancelled their trips, are you suggesting these trips were all fantasies and were set up to increase anti BCCI feeling?

Ravi Bopara went unsold!! OMG what a shocker!

.

His form for Chittagong Kings in BPL has been mediocre with 101 runs in seven innings so far. The way he has been struggling against unknown BPL bowlers says it all. I think, IPL auction was fair enough. This is their league and let them decide. And to be honest with you, they actually went for performance of other T20 leagues rather than so called big names. West Indies pace bowler Fidel Edwards was rewarded with a place in Rajasthan Royals for $210,000 after his eight wickets in five matches with Rangpur Riders. Dirk Nannes, bought by Chennai Super Kings for $600,000 has been doing extremely well in the BPL. He was but initially gone unsold at BPL auction in December.Royals later included him at his base price of $75,000 and the player made a decent contribution in the league so far. He took seven wickets in five matches for Royals. Kevin O’Brien was also unable to attract any bidder after he made just 36 runs in five matches in the BPL. Both O’Brien brothers are struggling to get pass two digits in most of the games.

lol they are stopping English players after the tour is over thinking they got practice but won't stop Aussies to come n acclimatise?do you really think they are that stupid?

things don't add up.there must be some other reason

Since you seem to know all the good/great/Pius/logical/genius intentions behind all BCCI decisions, ..... would you care to tell us.... what could be the logical [read: idiotic/moronic - like opposition to UDRS] reason sooooooooooooooo secretive that BCCI can NOT make it public...and come up with one line statement or clarification???

If you can't come up with a BETTER reason then... basically, that reason is valid and holds... no matter how stupid is sounds.... unless, you are adament that cricket boards have never done stupid things ever!

ECB taking help of a private company and bypassing BCCI.Thats a very good reason you see.

 

[speed]

BCCI should send their players to england to play county cricket.

 

[W63L35]

So let me get this straight.....that private company is ALLOWED to do business (train/practice) people from India but that company is NOT allowed to hire clients from OUTSIDE? How clever/smart!!!!

How would you feel if your dad (or you) were the owner of that company!

Free democratic Country.... I'd say!

 

[Square Drive]

The BCCI needs to get a grip. Acting like haters these days.

 

[Usman]

I must say, the move would have made sense pre-tour, but what's the point of this now?

 

[LethalSami]

is there a more pathetic and filthy org than BCCI.....?? i doubt it

this is totally yet

i'm pretty sure that most sane indian poster would be ing this

apni aukat to dekhani thi na BCCI nay...

that behind must be sour after all that whooping they have been receiving......sore losers

What are you guys going on about? India just wants to maintain a certain degree of home track advantage. Why do you think India's home test record is so good? Because teams like England would not see their pitches at all until the tour and then get thrashe because of unfamiliar conditions. England used to have the same advantage. I don't see anything wrong with not allowing English player to train in India, especially since no Indians play county cricket in England. Doesn't seem unfair at all. Practice matches before the series are supposed to acclimatize the players, not living in India for a year and practicing on their pitches...

What I don't like was when England team had a practice match in India, and the Indians didn't put in any spinners. I found that was unfair and unsporting because it defeats the purpose of the practice match.

If Indians aren't playing in county cricket it's purely because the BCCI won't let them!

We welcome Indian players in county cricket. The presence of Indian players benefits English cricket. After all, how else would our players have got to learn about the finer points of dirty underhand tactics such as mankading if Murali Kartik hadn't been around to teach them?

Mankading is legally allowed, for good reasons. Why is it a "dirty underhand tactic"?? Just because some Englishmen assume so? It is just stumping at the non striker's end. If you don't want to be Mankaded then don't steal those few dirty extra yards.

Oh phulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze subcontinent have nothing when it comes to underhanded techniques employed by english. Stop sounding so holier then thou, when you do it you call it smart when other do it its cheating. What Mankad did was within laws of game so its also in spirit of game hence its the law,

2ndly are u really going to complaint abt BCCI being angry and bitter when all your lot does is whine whine whine, batsman out lets wiat for the break then whine to opposition and ask them to take the appeal back. Seriously grow a pair and stop whinning and asking opponents to withdraw the appeals LOL

Some questions regarding this article.

Does the Global Cricket School in Pune fall under the jurisdiction of the BCCI. If it does then surely we must assume that all trips there by foreigners must be condsidered approved as soon as this cricket school gives the ok. Also this would mean that the BCCI should owe the teams compensation for having to rearrange their travel and training schedules. If however the Global cricket school is a pariah operating outside the BCCI then at some stage in the past 7 years then why did the BCCI not feel it ok to warn anyone planning a trip there before now?

Do cricket teams from other countries visit the Global cricket school, if so have they also been banned?

If all touring teams from abroad have to seek BCCI permission to play or train in India where does this end? Does my club team have to write a personal letter to the BCCI to make sure our visas dont get revoked on entry? Does the BCCI even have power to do this?

difference in CORE group. With different governing body, decision changes. If someone does consider it as fair affair, some other might not.

Don't see any reason why bcci should be answerable for this.

I can't come with it,because I don't know the exact relationship between the boards as I am not in BCCI.But it is safe to say the reason given in OP is untrue as BCCI would have also stopped Aussies if that were the case

Firstly, it has passed a rule (law, actually, where the BCCI is concerned) that no foreign players should be allowed to play or practice on any of its grounds in the country without formal permission. And then, to simplify things, it refuses to give permission.

The latest to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous BCCI is a group of county players from England who were to practice on a trip organised by Sachin Bajaj, a cricket evangelist from Pune and founder of the Global Cricket School. The GCS has been running the scheme for seven years now; former captain Andrew Strauss has also benefitted from this. Yet, the board's stand means that any attempt to see cricket in a global perspective is now deemed unpatriotic.

Indian cricketers play in the leagues in England and Australia and elsewhere, and even if all the experience gained does not automatically convert into a place in the national teams, it is part of the larger education of the individuals. Indian players - Kailash Ghattani and Bishan Bedi are two regulars - have taken touring sides to England. Sachin Tendulkar first came to notice on one of Ghattani's tours as a 15-year-old. In the old days, Indians not only played county cricket, but were often sent to the Alf Gover School for coaching.

Today, the board discourages national players from the county circuit and other tournaments abroad. Perhaps this policy of isolation is contributing to the miserable performances at the highest level.

Part of the problem, apparently, is the manner in which Joe Root gained experience of Indian conditions before making his debut in Nagpur. Steve Finn, who played for the England Performance Programme's tour to regain fitness ahead of the Kolkata Test, upset the BCCI so much it demanded an apology from the English and Wales Cricket Board, and got one.

fine,so its a policy that we wont send our players and wont allow other players to practice on our grounds.Its not out of anger of losing apparently.just a stupid policy

still I can't understand why would they allow Aussies to come early?

qts is policy came out all of a sudden post loss to england, since india harboring hopes to stomp aus they ok beside there are commercial interest without aus players IPL will tank

I'm not sure the policy came out only after the tour.any source for that?certainly the other part of the policy i.e. not allowing contracted players to play county has been there for a while

India's chances will only increase if they disallow Aussies to come early.I dont know why they aren't doing it

I don't think it is the IPL,Aus players would come anyway imo

that said,it is an arrogant stance that needs to be changed

 

[AdidasBeard]

India's chances would increase if the BCCI did not allow teams into their country until the day before the series starts. Or if they made the refused to allow touring teams to stay in hotels. Or if they confiscated all of the touring teams kit so they could not train. If this happened would some posters still jump to the BCCI's defence?

mate thats why i posted menon article which specifically says it just came in, we are not making things up and u rasing qts making u look like person with no knowledge but hell bent on defending BCCI cuz of nationalism.

Well done BCCI!

Any players can play in foreign countries in their domestic/ league (County, IPL etc ). But its not good if players from wealthy countries are allowed to go and play in foreign countries to gain advantage of different conditions with their money.

Cricket will be same as Olympics where only wealthiest countries can make maximum number of medals!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Should Indians also ban kiwis from IPL?

These guys are getting paid millions to learn about Indian players to go on and pummel them continuously in ICC evemts.
