He has all the information about the players\u2019 injuries, so to avoid any miscommunication, Laxman should attend the selection meetings going forward. <!-- -->It was decided after the review meeting in Mumbai,\u201d he further added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Saikia admitted that the continuous player injuries were a grave concern for the BCCI. When asked if the move was intended to make the selection process more transparent, Saikia said: \u201cIt is not about transparency. It is about ensuring that the selectors get complete and accurate information so that they can make the right decisions,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Recently, after the third ODI against the West Indies, India captain Shubman Gill admitted that the absence of players due to multiple factors had been frustrating. He said the team does not have too much time to experiment ahead of the 2027 World Cup and wants to field the combination that is likely to play in the tournament the next time a series comes around.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>\u201cI would say it\u2019s been unfortunate, you know, with the injuries and with the scheduling, with the other matches being around.
