Australia, as well as other countries, be aware of how far things can go off the rails without noticing the effects. – Ian Healy
Ian Healy, who represented Australia in 119 Tests and 168 ODIs between 1988 and 1999, said other cricket boards should be on the lookout and take note of things happening. He elaborated:
“It made extraordinary reading that the following issues could go unapproved for so long. Perhaps the administrators and players have not respected the dream of representing a powerhouse in the sport.
“Australia, as well as other countries, be aware of how far things can go without noticing the effects. Stay tuned. Add it all to the contest.”
The BCCI also indicated that all players will now have to travel with the team. Earlier, some of the senior cricketers have also traveled to and from the stadiums in personal vehicles, which the BCCI operations team would arrange with the help of the state units.
The BCCI has also banned personal managers or assistant players and support staff members from staying in the team hotel. Apart from this, no player will be able to bring their chef or hairdresser on visits.
