First casualty: BCCI sacks Chappell
By Tapan Joshi | Saturday, March 24, 2007
Sharad Pawar-led Indian cricket Board has refused to take the blame for the team’s shameful performance in the 2007 World Cup. Instead, it has just shot down the first victim.
Axe has fallen on coach Greg Chappell, who has been informed that his contract will not be renewed. The former Australian skipper’s contract with the Indian team ended with the game against Sri Lanka, which Rahul Dravid’s men lost by 69 runs.
Said a top BCCI source, “The formal announcement will be made by Board president Pawar in a few days’ time but we have conveyed our feelings to the players and also to Chappell. He has been told that he can pack his bags.”
Rahul Dravid was also appointed skipper only till the World Cup and his fate hangs in balance. Dravid himself admitted that he is no longer the skipper. There is intense anger in India, and heads were bound to roll.
