The matches of IPL 16th season are in progress. Former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar has come forward with a warning to the senior players of the Indian team who are currently playing in the IPL. The ODI World Cup will be held in India at the end of this year. Sunil Gavaskar has spoken ahead of the World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar has said that if India fails to win the ODI World Cup in India, some senior players will not be seen in the Indian team again.
Let’s read his words.”Only some are allowed to rest from major tournaments during the World Cup year due to workload. It is also common practice to rotate team members and vice versa. Allowing only a few regular rests due to workload is something that adversely affects the overall balance of the team and World Cup preparations.
If India loses the title in a World Cup, many of the players who are currently in the team will not be seen in the Indian shirt again. The issue of allowing rest is something that the BCCI will have to reconsider. All the players who have Grade A contract are guaranteed better remuneration in the contract. In addition to that, money is received in each match.
Can you name any company that allows the CEO or MD of an organization such a break? All I want to say is that Indian players should be more professional. In case of taking leave, the contractual amount should be reduced. Or how can you say I can’t play for India,” he said.
