The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to take a tough stand against the changing trend of players towards the game. Nowadays, players playing only a few selected matches and series is breaking the discipline of the team. For which the board, along with coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar, has started working towards creating a civilized culture against this trend.

Managing the workload of players in the team has always been a challenge for India, where in the last few years senior players of the team have started staying out of specific series, due to which a situation of discrimination is being created in the team. In such a situation, players like Mohammad Siraj have shown their resolve and dedication in the England tour. With this, the board hopes that now the expectations from every member of the team will be clear.

Gautam Gambhir has always opposed star culture, and he believes that the success of the team should be above personal desires. And this time the management is also ready to end this trend. According to reports, a senior BCCI official said that the management will soon inform all centrally contracted players that such behavior will not be tolerated.

In response to the excuse of workload management being made by the players, Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar compared the players to the soldiers of the country who serve the country even in the most difficult situations. These discussions gained more momentum when Jasprit Bumrah did not play the fifth Test match against England due to workload.

The board is extremely unhappy with these methods of the players, due to which they restarted the work of the fitness and sports science team at the Center of Excellence, so that the real fitness related problems of the players can be solved.
