N Srinivasan, BCCI secretary, said the board will review the performance of the Indian team in England at the end of the tour, but he believes the Test series was adjusted with the exception of serious injury.
India has been poor in England, losing the first two tests by large margins and facing defeat in the race continue to third Edgbaston. They will lose their No. 1 ranking if England wins the series with two test margin.
India, however, have been affected by injuries to key players - Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh - at different times of the tour. Srinivasan said it was important to take all issues into account before evaluating team performance. "We must put things in perspective," said the Indian Express. "We lost because of an injured Zaheer Khan. Virender Sehwag was not available for the first two tests. Gautam Gambhir had to sit in the second test. So I never had a full team. To fit all, we believe that the series had been much closer.
"Sure, will review the performance of cricket players after the journey and do what needs to be done. But when you're going on tour, and a one-day series followed by tests. So it should not jump the gun".
India captain MS Dhoni has fought in England. His wicketkeeping has been weak, it was only put 126 operates in five innings, and his captain has been criticized as well. The former captain Ajit Wadekar said India Dhoni, however, was betrayed.
"He was betrayed by poor planning, scheduling, damages and choice of subjects," Wadekar told The Times of India. "This team was emotionally drained after the victory of the World Cup and never really had time to come because of the IPL. The team met in England from different places and do not click as a unit. Given the number of injuries, the selectors have been more proactive in their thinking. "
India played only one warm-up game before the start of the test series, while several players were involved in back-to-back series - the World Cup, IPL, visit the West Indies and England. One criticism is that the BCCI failed to prioritize the cricket test.
"It's absurd," said Srinivasan. "Test cricket is the pinnacle of the game. We are not obsessed with numbers as part of the media. But when we reached the top of the placement test and stayed there for almost two years, no one raises these questions. Now, just after a poor series, criticism flying thick and fast. We must learn to be sporty. Being No. 1 does not mean we will not lose a game or series.
"Everyone wants to play for India, and if one is not good for India, it becomes a big success in IPL. I think all players want to play Test cricket and to succeed there because of performance tests, the most important thing. "
