NEW DELHI: Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has called on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to reduce the squad size for the upcoming Test series against England in June. Gavaskar, writing in his column for Sportstar, expressed concerns about the oversized contingent India took on their recent tour of Australia, which included 19 players, reserves included.
Gavaskar acknowledged the need for a larger squad in Australia due to logistical challenges but insisted the England tour requires a more streamlined approach. "Carrying more than 16 players will indicate the selectors are unsure, and that's never a good sign. Just because the BCCI can afford to send a large party doesn't mean the India cap should be given just like that," he stated.
