Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar has criticized the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for eliminating the toss in Under-23 matches, calling the decision wrong and urging the board to restore the traditional practice.
Vengsarkar, a former chairman of selectors, argued that the toss is an integral part of the game and its removal at the developmental level could hinder young players' understanding of match dynamics.
The BCCI had previously removed the toss in certain age-group tournaments to reduce home advantage, but Vengsarkar believes the move undermines the sport's fundamentals.
