Respect our players

Legendary shuttler Prakash Padukone had told HT a few months back that India sport will have no future till we learn to respect our sportspersons.

The officialdom was never expected to be considerate towards our players but when a former international great does the same to another, Padukone's words come back to haunt.

Dilip Vengsarkar and his selection committee definitely have the right to drop a player, including Rahul Dravid. But can't one at least expect that the committee, that has three former internationals in the rank, have the courtesy to treat the player of his quality with dignity?

Respect the players no matter if they have respect for other players or not!

Indian Sports has its own parallel universe. Everything is same except for the constitution. We make the rules and break it as well. One school asks everyone to treat the players with dignity, another school that might comprise people of high realm dumps players one after another. Trio dropping is a part of the same crap. Utter depressing nonsense!
