Coach Chappell meets BCCI officials, to submit report on Apr 6

Mumbai, Mar 31 (UNI) The report of coach Greg Chappell on India's dismal performance at the World Cup will be submitted by the Australian only on April 6.

Though Chappell, who has been facing flak for the debacle in the Caribbean, met BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah and other BCCI officials yesterday, he did not submit the report.

Shah confirmed the meeting but refused to divulge more about it.

''The report is not ready. It will be submitted on April 6,''Shah said.

The same day, skipper Rahul Dravid, coach Chappell and manager Sanjay Jagdale (also a national selection panel member) will meet BCCI officials and former captains who have been entrusted with the job of looking into the performance of Indian team and suggest ways of improvement.

The BCCI's all-powerful Working Committee is scheduled to meet the next day to discuss India's shocking ouster in the league stage in the Would Cup and take a final call on the matter.

''We are going to the meeting with a blank mind,'' Shah said.

Meanwhile, BCCI has added the name of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi to the committee of six former captains who have been invited to interact with the Cricket Board's office-bearers to guide the board on revitalising the team.

Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Chandu Borde, S Venkataraghavan, Ravi Shastri and Krishnamachari Srikkanth are the other members of the committee of former captains.
