“Who should know [about player injuries]? We know it, the Indian physio knows it, the NCA knows it, “Ganguly told The Week, according to ESPNCricinfo.
“I think people don’t know how BCCI works. The BCCI coaches, the physical therapist and Wriddhi himself know that he has two hamstring problems. People don’t understand injuries, that’s why they talk nonsense, “he added.
“Wriddhi travels to Australia because he will be fit for the tests. It is not part of the shorter formats. For the entire duration of the IPL, the Indian physiotherapists and trainers were in Dubai, ”Ganguly added.
“[India physio] Dr. Nitin Patel is managing the injuries and monitoring everything, ”he further said.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah posed with the T20 World Cup trophy. Ganguly uploaded a couple of images on Twitter and captioned the post: “It’s India time at 21 … ICC T20 World Cup.”
