BCCI Reveals Gambhir’s True Rection On The Nayar Being Sacked
“Gambhir didn’t oppose (to Nayar’s sacking). He had to go through a lot of negotiations to bring Ten Doeschate and Morkel on board. There was no way he was going to let them go this early,” a BCCI source told Hindustan Times.
“The board officials took feedback from senior cricketers and some were not happy with Nayar’s role inside the dressing room. He was informed about the non-renewal of his contract a few days ago,” the source added.
Why Was Nayar Sacked
Reports indicate that Abhishek Nayar has been dismissed by the BCCI following team India’s poor performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, where they lost the series 3-1. A more significant factor was the test series defeat against New Zealand, which ended 3-0. The loss to New Zealand was particularly disappointing, as the test series was held in India.
“…just after the tour of Australia, there was a review meeting conducted by the BCCI. The top officials of the board, including secretary Devajit Saikia and vice-president Rajeev Shukla, were present along with important members associated with the Indian team, and the national selectors,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying by the news agency.
