Do you agree with Sunil Gavaskar’s position on foreign players commenting on Indian cricket selections?

Gavaskar, however, has not gilled any word to reject the comments of De Villiers. Writing in his chronicle for Sportstar, he castigated foreign players for interfering in the questions of Indian cricket.“What is confusing, however, is that uninteresting foreigners in Indian cricket and little knowledge on this subject get up in the debate, adding fuel to the fire. As formidable as they are as players, the selection of the Indian team is strictly not their business.The legendary opener stressed that Indian cricket players never comment on the selection questions for other nations.“It is almost as if the selection was perfect and that they have no comments to make. So why you offer the nose in the selection of the Indian team? Have you heard Indian ex-cricketers talk about the selection of teams from other countries? No, we are disturbing our own things,” he added.Gavaskar also spared the Indian media, accusing them of having amplifying opinions abroad for validation.“To a certain extent, the Indian media are also responsible, because they go to cricket players abroad and ask them questions about Indian cricket. How often we see Indian journalists chasing foreign players-that even their own countries have forgotten-just to obtain a quote on India? It is as if our cricket needed their validation,” he said.India preparing for the Asian Cup, Gavaskar’s ardent words have revived the debate on external influence in the Indian Cricket Speech.
