Former Sri Lanka skipper Arjuna Ranatunga has criticized the Indian cricket board for harming the game through the Indian Premier League as it will now produce butchers, instead of better Test players.
Ranatunga, who is in Dubai to give away the Shyam Bhatia annual cricket awards, blamed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the game heading towards disaster in India.u00a0
“They won the World Cup, but look at the way they are playing Test cricket. They are losing to most of the countries and don''t produce any more Gavaskars, Vengsarkars or Viswanaths, Tendulkars, Dravids and Laxmans. I am talking about classical cricketers,” Ranatunga told Gulf News.
