Head coach Gautam Gambhir has always been against the mega-star culture prevailing in Indian cricket.

It is understood that the selection committee, Gambhir and the decision makers in the BCCI are all on the same page with regards to putting an end to players picking and choosing games and series in the pretext of workload management. 

“There have been discussions and the message will be sent across to the centrally contracted players that this culture of picking and choosing games won’t be entertained in near future,” a senior BCCI official told PTI.
