New Delhi: Amid speculation that Mahendra Singh Dhoni may be replaced as India’s Twenty20 captain following the team’s dismal performance in the West Indies, BCCI on Friday sought to clear the air saying though it was unhappy, there was no such move.
“Obviously we are not happy with the performance of the team but it does not mean that we are thinking of removing Dhoni as Twenty20 captain,” a top BCCI source said.
The Indian team, knocked out of the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies, returned home today and will have to face some tough questions.
The cricketers avoided eye contact at the Mumbai and Delhi airports with the waiting media and slipped into their vehicles without offering any comments. Dhoni chose to make a quiet back door exit.
The team’s arrival came a day after reports that coach Gary Kirsten had spoken to seven cricketers individually and complained about their fitness and commitment.
On his arrival in Mumbai, team manager Ranjib Biswal denied that the players had got any dressing down from Kirsten.
“Nothing of this sort happened. We were all together at the team hotel’s swimming pool before departing for home,” Biswal told reporters.
Kirsten is believed to have held one-on-one meeting with seven senior players, including Dhoni, and is expected to give his inputs to Biswal who will submit his report to the BCCI.
