Gavaskar Urges BCCI to End ‘Star Culture,’ Says It’s Time to ‘Stop Acting Like Admirers’
Sunil Gavaskar is calling for a major overhaul in the way the BCCI approaches player selection and management, emphasizing the need to end the “star culture” in Indian cricket. He believes that the board has been too lenient with top players, allowing them to pick and choose when they want to play, and that this has led to a lack of commitment and accountability. Gavaskar thinks that players should be required to make themselves available for every match, unless there’s a genuine medical emergency, and that the BCCI should stop acting like admirers and start putting their foot down.

He’s not wrong, considering the recent performance of the Indian team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where they suffered a 1-3 series defeat to Australia. Players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are usually the team’s top performers, had a disappointing series, and their absence from certain matches was notable. Gavaskar’s comments are a wake-up call for the BCCI to re-evaluate their approach and prioritize the team’s needs over individual interests.
Gavaskar’s suggestion is not just about discipline, but also about creating a culture of accountability and responsibility within the team. He wants players to understand that representing India is a privilege, and that they should be willing to put in the hard work and make sacrifices for the team’s success. It’s time for the BCCI to take a tough stance and ensure that players are committed to the team’s goals, rather than just their own personal interests ¹ ² ³. By doing so, they can create a more cohesive and dedicated team that can compete at the highest level and bring glory to Indian cricket.
