BCCI asked to not take large contingents during overseas tours, Sunil Gavaskar urges ‘not to hand India cap like that’

Live Mint  

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar urged the BCCI to not give India caps to players just like that and also asked the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee to trim the size of the contingent during overseas tours in future. In his column for Sportstar, Gavaskar opined that taking a bigger squad, only showed the selector's unsurety in India's plan for Australia. Devdutt Padikkal, who initially went to Australia as a part of India A side, was later drafted into the main squad ahead of the first Test in Perth. “It was understandable to some extent to have a large squad of around 20 for Australia, as it is not an easy place to reach, and the body clock does take a few days to adjust to the local time zone,” Gavaskar wrote.
