Indian coach blamed IPL for early exit of India

Indian Coach Gary Kirsten reported to media that Indian Cricketeres were very tired after the IPL (Indian Premere League), which was played in South Africa and it continued for more than one and half month. Some Indian cricket expert also told that 3-4 Indian players were also not fit for the ICC T20 World Cup but yet they were selected in the team. It is being said that Indian Cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni wanted that they join the team even after their injury because they were their favorite players. He took this decision for his personal benefit not as per the team. I thingk he had also forgotten that he is leading for his country India not for his state Jharkhand / Ranchi team.

BCCI (Indian Cricket Board Authorities) haven't made any response in reply to Gary Kirsten comments. There was a time when IPL chairman Lalit Modi had also suggested for 2nd IPL series in a year. The problem with BCCI is that they are not taking seriously to build a great Indian Cricket them. BCCI is not following any standard. They just want their players to paly too many cricket so they can earn as much as money as they can.
