I think the reason for a player not taking things seriously is lack of talent in the pipeline. National team players know very well that if they can somehow manage to score 30-40 runs in one match, or can grab 2-3 wickets, they are set for few series. Why bother working extra hard to hone their skills..They get instant stardom, don't face much challenge and as a result, start taking things lightly and don't take practice seriously

This trend started from JS era as many has mentioned before. And BCB also didnt bother taking stern actions. The players wouldn't have the audacity to take things lightly if the administration was strict and honest. BCB took a bold step by punishing a player known for skipping training and other questionable deeds but they messed things up badly. Incompetence at its best.

A qualified coach is needed to get the best out of the players. But a strong administration is also needed to produce quality players with proper work ethics and manners..

Providing facilities only to national team players and overlooking others won't solve the problem. BCB needs to make sure that other players also get similar training facilities, sporting wickets for all domestic matches, quality practice wickets for all domestic teams, qualified physio and trainers for all and so on. These ideas have been floating around for ages and yet BCB failed to implement them. They all want instant money, fame. BCB needs to put things together rather than blaming the players. These players are the outcome of your system. Fix the system first and the outcome will be gratifying
