The recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy made headlines in every way. Amid this, a shocking claim by a new report grabbed eyeballs that India coach Gautam Gambhir revealed a player’s name in the BCCI review meeting, who leaked news about the Indian dressing room as well. According to a video report by News 24, it was Sarfaraz Khan. Talking on the rumour, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh called for better sense to handle these as well.

“Whatever has happened in the last few days, be it in Australia or after that…there are wins and losses on the field. But every day new stories should not come out of the dressing room. Today, there was a report that coach saab (Gautam Gambhir) has said Sarfaraz Khan leaked dressing room talks to media. If coach saab has said this, he should not have done so. If Sarfaraz Khan had done this in Australia, you are the coach, you could have talked to him then. He is a player, make him understand. He is a youngster, he will play for India in the future,” Harbhajan Singh said on his YouTube channel.

“Being a senior player, it’s our duty to give wisdom to youngsters. If he (Gambhir) has said this, that Sarfaraz has leaked the news, and if the player has indeed done so, then it’s wrong. Dressing room talks should not come out in the open. Gautam Gambhir is new to this job, he should be given time. The players should also get time to gel with the new system,” he further added.

Harbhajan Singh also said that matters of the dressing room should remain there as well. He was also angry that every single detail of BCCI’s meeting was wide open.

“You should sit and solve the matter. Last six-eight months there is lot of rumours in Indian cricket. It’s very important that there is coordination among players and coach. In the 2005-06 season, during Greg Chappell era the same thing happened. Who’s is doing this and why? You should not talk bad about your own family members in the open, that way your family’s name gets tarnished,” Harbhajan Singh concluded.
