Forced to resign after senior women cricketers gave a negative feedback about him, a hurt Tushar Arothe says that "letting players decide the fate of coaches" will only set a bad precedent. The 51-year-old Arothe, who guided India women cricket team to World Cup final, was removed after the BCCI received complaints from senior players, especially Twenty20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, about his training methods.

"If students start deciding on the syllabus and course curriculum when there is a teacher, I don't think it's a great thing. Similarly, if you start removing coaches merely on the basis of allegations from the players, then you are setting a bad precedent," Arothe told PTI in a no-holds barred interview today.
