The show-cause notice expected to be sent today by the BCCI to India's T20 offenders based on the report submitted by manager Ranjib Biswal is one of the first incidents of the Board cracking the whip in public spontaneously.
"Cricketers are not bigger than the game and if they misbehave, then the BCCI must take appropriate steps. If the gravity of the situation demands it, banning them like what happened in Pakistan should not be ruled out," said Borde, manager on India's 2007 tour to England.
"The more professional cricket becomes, more will be expected from the players. They need to realise that they have to abide by rules and be disciplined at all times. If that does not happen, the BCCI must ensure that discipline is maintained. I am happy that they have taken a strong stand.
"Such measures will ensure that players realise their responsibilities. It will also be a message to others that they cannot break the rules or take things lightly," Borde added.
