Shah hits out at Wright

The Indian cricket board today hit out at former coach John Wright for his controversial comments on the country8217;s selection policy. 8220;What does John Wright know about India? He comes from a small country which does not have the huge number of cricketers which we have. We have been doing a very good job over a number of years,8221; secretary Niranjan Shah said.

8220;It8217;s a democratic process. What8217;s wrong in selectors backing players from their region if they know their potential? Do not our members of Parliament talk about issues concerning their region in the House?8221; he asked. 8220;He8217;s talking about Gavaskar helping the players as the team8217;s batting consultant even though he was present as the coach. He should have raised the issue then and not kept mum if he was not happy.
