Overview

• Yograj Singh has accused the 2011–12 BCCI selection panel of destroying the careers of seven World Cup–winning players, including Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid.
• He named Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Mohammed Kaif, and VVS Laxman among those he says were abruptly phased out after India’s 2011 ODI World Cup triumph.
• He said former selector Mohinder Amarnath backed a unanimous move to replace Dhoni after five series defeats, but BCCI president N Srinivasan later vetoed the decision.
• Only Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and MS Dhoni remained from the 2011 squad for the 2015 World Cup, underscoring the committee’s extensive overhaul.
• Singh linked these decisions to India’s subsequent form slump, arguing that the abrupt removal of core players harmed team performance.
