New Delhi: The Indian team’s tour manager for the World T20, Ranjib Biswal, on Saturday, submitted his report on India’s disastrous T20 performance to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Biswal said he has made some recommendations to the Board in his report on the trip, which ended in India exiting in the Super Eight stage of the tournament for the second consecutive year. The inaugural T20 champions failed to win a single match in the Super Eights.

“I have submitted the report to the BCCI about the T20 World Cup in the West Indies. The BCCI is looking at the report and they will get back to you,” Biswal told reporters after spending close to one and a half hour at the BCCI headquarters on Saturday. “There are certain issues which I have recommended to the BCCI and I hope the Board knows how to react to that and I hope the Board reacts to that.”

A source said the issues which Biswal is referring to are fitness, discipline and susceptibility to short-pitched bowling, which was thoroughly exposed on the bouncy Caribbean tracks.

“Biswal’s report deals with all the issues that happened in the West Indies. The report has suggestions about the need to play more on bouncy wickets, issues relating to discipline and fitness of the players are also there,” the source said.

Biswal once again denied media reports of Indian players being involved in a bar brawl in the West Indies after crashing out of the World Cup.

“That incident never took place. It was just a verbal talk and there is nothing substantial to that. There was an argument because the boys, who went there (to the pub) for dinner, were harassed by some Indian fans. There is nothing much about it,” he said.

Apparently, the report mentions that the players failed to execute Kirsten’s inputs on facing short-pitch bowling. Also, the fallout of this meeting between the team manager and the BCCI could be a dressing down for Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma, two players that Kirsten hinted at when he said that he is fitter than some players in the team.
