Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi has launched a scathing attack on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), accusing them of prioritizing financial gain over player well-being. Modi criticized the board for their relentless pursuit of revenue and urged them to prioritize player health and family time. He suggested structural reforms such as having a majority of players on the board and hiring a professional CEO to focus on human resources and self-development. Modi also emphasized the importance of upgrading stadiums for a better fan experience. The criticism comes amidst the announcement of a busy 2026-27 home season schedule, with concerns over player workload. Modi ended his post with a plea for the BCCI to regain its moral compass and focus on the well-being of players. The debate over the balance between quality and quantity in Indian cricket is intensifying, with pressure mounting on the BCCI to reconsider their cricket calendar.
