Indian Cricket Team Coach Gary Kirsten has expressed his displeasure over lack of fitness, commitment and discipline among the players. He said that several players of the Indian team which made a humiliating exit from the Twenty20 World Cup are overweight, unfit and undisciplined.Mr Kirsten is preparing a report for the BCCI outlining these problem and other issues plaguing the Indian team . But BCCI spokesman Rajiv Shukla has denied reports that the Board has received any e-mail from Kirsten. An angry Kirsten reportedly held one-on-one meeting with Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Ashish Nehra, Rohit Sharma and Zaheer Khan before preparing a damning report on the players' fitness and behaviour.The South African apparently believes that as many as eight players in the squad are overweight and three of them are in fact unfit for international cricket. According to the reports, Kirsten is unhappy with the team selection and feels slighted as the selectors did not bother to consult him while picking the squad.
