Dungarpur denies saying Indian coaches are biased
PRESS TRUST OF INDIA


MUMBAI, OCTOBER 20: Former Cricket Board (BCCI) President Raj Singh Dungarpur on Saturday vehemently denied news reports that he had said Indian coaches could be biased towards certain players.

Refuting statements on these lines attributed to him by the Gulf News, the current chairman of the BCCI's National Cricket Academy said ``I never used the word bias when the Gulf News reporter contacted me over the phone.''

``You reporters used to contact me on several occasions during my tenure as Board President. Have I ever used the word bias?,'' he countered. ``All I told the reporter was that all of us in the Board, including me, are affiliated to the state associations or units and one of the biggest advantages a foreign coach will have is that he is not connected to any association or unit,'' Dungarpur said.
