BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla shot back at former Australian bowlers Ray Bright and Rodney Hogg for calling the Indian batsmen a 8216;scared lot8217;, saying they should mend their 8216;ways8217;.
8220;Such sort of comments are not in good taste. Our players are capable of answering back by their performance to any one. They should behave themselves,8221; Shukla told a TV channel.
Hogg while criticising Sourav Ganguly8217;s inclusion in the Indian team during a programme on Neo Sports, had said the ex-captain has been brought back only because of 8216;political8217; clout.
Dismissing this charge Shukla said, 8220;Ganguly was in team only because of his performance.8221;
Former stumper and chief selector Kiran More also criticised the Aussies for their comments.
8220;We should reply to these cricketers by winning the matches,8221; he said.
