The current itinerary with the lack of tour or should we call them 'practice matches' has been a matter of heated debate. Since the BCCI is the favourite whipping boy, everyone has vented their spleen on them for reducing them to nothing.
However when you take a look at these statistics; they start right from our 1947-48 tour to the 2003-04 tour, you are left wondering whether the BCCI should be blamed.
Played Won Lost Drawn
Total: 31 8 11 12
It is obvious that our cricketers have reduced these games to an extended net practice and have consistently failed to use these matches to establish an early dominance over their opponents.
Recognizing the fact that our players consider these matches to be a chore the BCCI has fallen in step with their wish and reduced the number of these 'charades'.
So why blame the BCCI when the fault lies with our players?
