BCCI to act tough on non-performing players

In the wake of the Indian team's disastrous outing in South Africa, the Cricket Board has decided to act tough and a few top players are expected to get the axe when the selectors meet in Rajkot on January 12. "I am going to tell the selectors to have a deep look at the non-performing players when choosing the team. I am talking on behalf of the Board's members who also feel in similar fashion. They (selectors) have to review the players' performance," BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah told PTI today.

Shah said he could not give a directive to the selectors to drop a particular player but could tell them broadly what they were required to do following the team's 0-4 loss in ODIs and 1-2 loss in Tests to South Africa. "I cannot say how many players will be dropped. It's entirely up to the selectors. But I will certainly ask them to have a re-look at the players' performance," he said.

The selection panel, headed by Dilip Vengsarkar, will choose the 30 probables for the March-April World Cup in the West Indies as well as choose the Indian squad for the first two home ODIs against the West Indies. The first ODI is scheduled at Nagpur on January 21 followed by the second at Cuttack three days later. Shah's ominous words have come after coach Greg Chappell had expressed similar sentiments over the team's poor performance yesterday in Cape Town after the Test series loss to South Africa.
