Niranjan Shah has the last word.

The BCCI in a sudden decision withdrew Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik from the master’s game between the players' associations of Australia and New Zealand as Hamish Marshall, an ICL player, is part of the squad.

While Heath Mills, Chief Executive of the Players' Association, is understandably taken aback, our man Niranjan Shah, manager of the Indian team for New Zealand remains unfazed.

In fact, contrary to his nature he refused to comment and dismissed the matter as inconsequential by saying, “This match is not important. Why should I comment on it?”
