He also looked surprised that these things went under the radar for so long, as he said: "The reshaping of Indian cricket. A strict, strong response from Indian cricket authorities basically admitting they have let discipline of their national team slip badly. It made for extraordinary reading that the following issues could go unapproved for so long."

Healy also thought that the players and administration took representing India - the powerhouse of cricket - very lightly,

"Maybe administrators and players have disrespected the dream of representing a powerhouse of the sport. Australia plus other countries, be aware as to how far things can get off the rails without noticing the effects. Stay vigilant. Take all that into the contest," Healy concluded.
