The BCCI is seriously contemplating reviewing the West Indies players' participation in the Indian Premier league. So miffed are the BCCI officials with the attitude of the Caribbean players that some hard actions can't be ruled out as far as their playing in IPl is concerned.
"The matter is likely to be raised at IPl governing council meeting where the issue will come up for serious discussions. Some of the members of board's top brass want to ban the Windies players for atleast one season," a senior BCCI functionary said on Friday. “The love that Indian public bestowed on them is unimaginable and this is pure backstabbing by their players," the official added. "What BCCI officials are finding it difficult to digest is that even after their assurances to Sanjay Patel, who went to Kochi to persuade them, things have come to such a pass. How could they backtrack on their promiseIJ This is a matter of principles. If they can give commercial considerations priority then why won't they be penalised for their uncompromising attitude," the senior official said.
