Beleaguered Indian captain Rahul Dravid is under pressure from the senior players who are operating like a %u2018mafia%u2019, according to a private TV channel.
Quoting unnamed sources, the TV channel said the senior players in the team were operating like a %u2018mafia%u2019 and coach Greg Chappell had expressed his anger with the player's %u2018mafia%u2019.
The sources were quoted as saying that the senior players "hammer and abuse" juniors and don't give them a "chance".
They said that Chappell was not averse to staying on as the coach provided the same sets of players were not retained.
The growing rift between some players in the team has been widely reported in a section of the media in the recent past. After India's disastrous first round exit from the World Cup last month, there have been several reports of the players being divided into camps and not acting like a team. Quic k decisions are needed since India are due to visit Bangladesh in May for two Tests and three one-dayers, a tour that has assumed greater significance since Bangladesh's stunning win over the Indians at the World Cup. A recent CNN-IBN television poll of 60 former and current first-class cricketers showed that a majority wanted Chappell and Dravid to continue, but hoped Tendulkar will quit one-day cricket to concentrate on Tests. Chappell secured 48 percent of the votes, followed by former India star Mohinder Amarnath with 30 percent. Renowned Australian coaches John Buchanan and Dav Whatmore managed just two percent votes each. Dravid was favoured as captain by 86 percent of the cricketers, but 56 percent of those polled wanted Tendulkar to play only Test cricket, while 33 percent felt he should quit the game altogether. Meanwhile, officials will continue to milk the cash cow, irrespective of the team's performance. India are scheduled to play 15 Tests and a minimum of 40 one-dayers at home and abroad over the next 12 months, besides the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in September

team india was broken ship when dravid made captain and ranked No8 in ICC ranking ( even now it is ranked No6)This WC team India %u2018s early exit, b%u2019cuz some players delieberatley palyed negative cricket and betryed team and dtiched dravid.ateam. If players are not ready to support team cause what capatain.some players fielding and body language was visible that as if they were playing an practice match and gifted match to Bangladesh an early exit from WC means dravid is not good captian and ganguly%u2019s records not harmed When players only go against captain and coach and betray teammates why blame captain or coach??If player can not perform for team what is his role ? He should be kicked out team IF players can get negative inspiration why could not players did not perform for team??how can cricket expert say that captain is not motivating player?/ WC is the biggest event of cricket and those players who get chance to play this on behalf of team India?chappel tried to push the palyers comofrt zone and bring professionalism. Many players do not like this Dravdi was the guy showing the fight against SL...but who supported him? Dravid accepted the responsiblity for defeat in front of media he will resign Sewag selection was questioned by Chief slesctor HE IS HIGHESTRUN GETTER Dhoni, harbajan, sachin, completly failed the worst thing there is groupism and politcs in team and it was visible dufing match against SL and Bangaldesh ganguly is selfish politician He and his group deliberately played negative cricket , played big role in defeat and took revenge for his outset. he is cunning politicain not a team man main culprit to sabotage team WC capaign. He betrayed dravid. when he was captain it was dravid performance, hardwork brought him succes as captain. In WX2003 india reached final b`uz of sachins brillinet performance. not b`zu of ganguly`s captiancy or agression. it is ganguly, zahirkahn, dhoni, harbajan should be kicked out
