As reported in Deccan Chronicle "Cricketers, who come from ordinary backgrounds, have had to wait on railway stations for the announcement of the teams and have to go back empty-handed as they can't afford to give selectors cars and cash. Doesn't matter if you hit the stumps twice, thrice or more, only those players will be selected who have gifted the selectors a car, or cash," one of the cricketers, who did not want to be identified, said.
On the other hand another cricketer Bhupendra Singh revealed that selectors asked him for Rs 2 lakhs, whereas Rahul claimed that Saifi had asked him to pay Rs 5 lakhs from him.
