Ranathunga Blames BCCI

Colombo, Srilanka: The former Sri Lankan captain and the cheif of Sri Lanka Cricket, Arjuna Ranathunga slammed on BCCI for its poor management of the team. The captain was speaking in light of the recent defeat of team India in the test series. He said "There is no other foreign effect to be blamed but BCCI for its poor management, the council had not prepared its players for the foreign tour and this brought about the defeat to the country". The Indian Cricket team had lost 0-4 against the England team in the test series held at England.

Arjuna feels that the team was under prepared for the test series and the players were more into ODI's and IPL than the test version of the game. As known to the world, Arjuna Ranathunga is a critic to the IPL seasons and feels that the twenty-20 versions of the game is breaking the attitude of players towards the longer version of the game. 

He continued " After the World Cup players did not rest properly and were rushing to participate in the IPL competitions, we had incidents of players postponing the surgeries for the sake of the game and in a final turn it did effect on the upcoming series."

He also reacted on players who opted out of West Indies tour of India. Although the skipper continued to praise Rahul Dravid for his achievements and also added the tag that he was well prepared!
