Former India captain Sachin Tendulkar has revealed that he did not have the freedom to select his own team during his tenure as Test captain in the 1990s. Speaking to The Cricket News, Tendulkar reflected on the challenges he faced while leading the side, noting that selection decisions were often made by the board and selectors rather than the captain.
Tendulkar captained India in 25 Test matches between 1996 and 2000, winning four and losing nine. His comments shed light on the structure of Indian cricket administration during that era, where captains had limited authority over squad composition.
