Gavaskar suggests fines for bowlers and coaches to address India's no-ball issues
Sunil Gavaskar has called for fines on bowlers and coaches to curb India's no-ball problems after the team's recent Test series against Sri Lanka.
Sunil Gavaskar has proposed fines for bowlers and coaches to tackle India's ongoing no-ball problems. The former India captain made the suggestion following India's recent Test series against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
India won the first Test by 165 runs and drew the second to claim the series 1-0. However, the team struggled with no-ball counts throughout the two-match series, prompting Gavaskar's comments on the issue.
Gavaskar said the current system lacks accountability for repeated no-ball offences. He suggested financial penalties as a deterrent for both players and support staff responsible for monitoring such errors.

Gavaskar's fine proposal shifts the conversation from technical fixes to structural accountability, acknowledging that no-ball counts have become a systemic rather than individual problem in Indian cricket.
