The 58-year-old believes that it would hinder players from sharing there issues with the coach, due to the fear of being left out of the side.

“Never been a fan of one person being coach and selector. Players come to a coach with a problem. If they know that that knowledge could result in them being dropped, they may not be honest with coaches,” wrote Bhogle.
