Angry Kohli slams Indian cricket board

Published November 23, 2017

Indian cricket skipper Virat Kohli has slammed his own cricketing board, the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), over poor schedule management.

In order to adjust the Sri Lanka series, the BCCI left breathing space for the Indian cricket team to prepare for the South Africa series, scheduled to begin in late December.

“Yes [we requested for the pace-friendly wickets] because unfortunately we get only two days before we fly to South Africa after this series gets over. So we have no choice but be in a game situation and think of what’s coming ahead of us,” said Kohli, while talking to media, quoted Hindustan Times.

The Sri Lanka series ends on December 24 and India play their first Test against South Africa on January 5.

“Had we got a month off ideally, we would have done a proper preparation in a camp sort of scenario. But we have to sort of make do with what we have,” said Kohli. He was of the view that BCCI need to assess such issues in the future.

“Everyone starts judging players when results come after Test matches. It should be a fair game where we get to prepare the way we want to and then we are entitled to be criticized,” the Indian skipper said.
