To make matters worse, reports revealed that the team was not satisfied with coach Tushar Arothe. Senior players Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur, captains of the ODI and T20 sides of India, met with the Committee of Trustees (CoA) in this regard, who then summoned the former Baroda cricketer. On Monday night, a "disappointed" Arothe, who had led India during this memorable campaign last July, released his papers. Rather acrimonious fallout from seasoned players in the team had hurt him.
"There is no grudge between the players, myself and any other support staff, I give up for personal reasons, I wish good luck to the girls in the upcoming series (three ODI and Five T20I in Sri Lanka.) World Cup and make India proud, "Arothe told ToI of Bangalore.In an exclusive interview, he then unveiled his heart about what triggered his ouster.
One of the problems reported by the players was his training schedule. While Arothe wanted two sessions a day, the players wanted a single, long and abrupt workout in one day. "You can not allow the training methods to be dictated by the girls. If these girls want to achieve something, they have to get out of their comfort zone, they do not want to do that. change coach), "laments Arothe.
Incidentally, BCCI hired Arothe after firing Purnima Rau as coach of the women's team at the request of the players.
Expanding on the training sessions, he said: "These girls did not want to get out of the locker room for a two and a half hour workout." We conducted the same kind of camps in South Africa, during the World Cup and on our second trip to South Africa, how come nobody complained to them at that time? girls to hide their failures. "
He then explains why his second test session, conducted in the evening, helped the team to improve. "In the evening, I was leading a 90-minute camp to improve the skills of the bowler hitters. During my stint, where we played around 18 ODI, the bowling players helped us win two victories, including one in the World, was not it valuable for the team?
He is also disappointed by the way the BCCI, read the CoA, handled the whole affair. "Why were we called (he and the players) separately to solve this problem?" Everyone should have been summoned for this meeting, which should have been held in an open forum, they called the captains of the meeting. ODI (Mithali Raj) and the T20 (Harmanpreet Kaur) and a coach (Hemlata Kala) who was not even on tour, they should have called the vice-captain (Smriti Mandhana), Jhulan Goswami, who is a player senior, and the coach (Shashi Gupta) who went to the Asian Cup, and praised my work there.I do not think the girls told the truth in the meeting, "he smoked.
He criticized BCCI's decision to cancel a camp for the women's team just before leaving for Sri Lanka. "They had nothing to do to cancel this camp (in Bangalore) that was to take place before the tour to Sri Lanka. Two days before the return of the Asian Cup, I spoke to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) (project director) Toofan Ghosh, and he asked me about the camp schedule, and suddenly I learned (I do not even have any spoken) that it was canceled, "he says.
He then explains why this camp was critical. "In March, BCCI asked me about my plans for the World T20 in the West Indies: Mithali, Harman and Jhulan, Mithali, Harman and Jhulan.We organized this fitness camp from 10 to 12 days before July, because it is difficult to hold it later because of the rains.Thank you, the Indian women's team will not have any physical fitness before going to World T20, the CoA does not have He was not aware of it and yet they canceled it without even informing me, "he said.
Arothe felt that some players became complacent, due to the lack of options to replace them. "There is practically no competition, there are no players in the pipeline, so those in the camp, even though they are good, have taken their place for granted. even if they are released, it's easy for them to come back.
