No confidentiality in board -- Gaekwad

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
MUMBAI, SEPT 21: Outgoing Indian cricket coach Anshuman Gaekwad has taken strong exception to the leakage of his World Cup report.

``I told the Board when I gave my report to allow me to talk to the media. But they didn't allow me. Now I find that it has been leaked to the media,'' he said while addressing mediapersons here on the eve on Indian team's departure for Nairobi.

``The fact that this report has been made public means there is no confidentiality in Board matters. It's not good for Indian cricket and I am going to take up this matter with the Board.''

The former Indian opener emphatically stated he was in ``no way'' embarrassed to face the team. ``If the boys feel what I have given in the report is not true, then I am willing to apologise in public. But I am deeply disturbed by this happening.''

Need triers: Jadeja

Indian skipper for the four-nation tournament to be staged in Nairobi, Ajay Jadeja, made a telling statement this evening while replying to newsmen's queries on the teamat his disposal. ``Give me 11 players who will try their best to win rather than talented ones,'' he remarked on the eve of the team's departure to the Kenyan capital.

Admitting that the team would miss the services of stalwarts like Sachin Tendulkar, the 28-year-old Jadeja was hopeful of the youngsters showcasing their wares in the absence of the big guns. ``It is good to see that in crunch situations there is always someone to fall back on,'' he said pointing to the recent Toronto triumph. ``Everybody in this team is keen to win and make Sachin the best captain in the world,'' he observed.
