Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has hit out at Ashok Malhotra, the president of the newly-formed Indian Cricketers' Association (as per the Lodha Committee recommendations) for voicing his not-in-favour opinion on the proposed four-day Tests recently.

"In this debate, the president of the newly formed Indian Cricketers' Association has dropped his two-bit which is fine but he should have made it clear that it was in his personal capacity and not as the president of the Indian Cricketers' Association. That but for the position he holds, not many would have been remotely interested in his views is another matter altogether but what his comments to the media suggest is that it's a decision of the ICA, Gavaskar wrote in his Straight Drive column which appeared in today's Sunday Mid-day.
