New Delhi:
India coach Gary Kirsten will be asked to explain why he has been writing columns on his website without getting permission from the Indian cricket Board.
“He had asked us for permission to write on his website. We haven’t given him the permission. Since he is still writing, we will ask him to explain,” The Indian Express quoted BCCI chief administrative officer Professor Ratnakar Shetty as saying.
As per rules, only the Indian captain does not need to take permission to write columns. Chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar was, in fact, barred from writing columns earlier this year, forcing him to even contemplate resigning from his post.
Kirsten’s recent posts on his website include comments on how a rotation policy could be good for players and what he felt on the team’s return to international cricket after the Indian Premier League (IPL).
He has been writing regular post-match comments on the website, which also includes coaching tips, columns by India’s mental and physical conditioning coach Paddy Upton, and also offers a free download of Kirsten's autobiography Gazza
