‘None of the top India players talk to him, he would stand in one corner’: BCCI official slams Chetan Sharma
There has been much discussion surrounding the startling sting operation conducted by Zee News on Team India’s chief selector, Chetan Sharma. The former Indian pacer made some remarkable revelations and highlighted the significance of his role. He also boasted about his close relationship with Captain Rohit Sharma and how players like Hardik Pandya often visited his house to strategize their future with the team.
“Chetan spoke a bit too much. None of the top India players talk to him. Have you seen him speak to Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma publicly in any training session? He would stand in one corner during T20 World Cup in Australia and no one bothered to speak to him,” the source claimed.
Although the BCCI source acknowledged that Chetan Sharma’s claims were exaggerated, they agreed that the sting operation had caused players and officials to be more reticent in their conversations with one another. Consequently, any cordial or candid conversations between them had become increasingly rare.
“No player or selector will be comfortable on sharing a cordial relationship even with well-meaning journalists after this sting as the trust factor has been compromised,” the source said.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to make a decision shortly regarding Chetan Sharma’s future as India’s Chief Selector. With the upcoming season of cricket looming, the BCCI is under pressure to make a decision that will ensure the team’s success. It remains to be seen whether Sharma will remain in his current role or if the BCCI will opt for a new Chief Selector.
