dc.description.tableofcontents1. The BBC’s Hugh Crosskill reports on the controversy surrounding the inclusion of Graham Gooch on the English cricket team earmarked for the upcoming tour of India despite India’s position on sporting sanctions against South Africa which involve the exclusion of players who have played cricket under its Apartheid system. England’s Test and County Cricket Board however, in citing the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) rule that countries have a right to select their own team, has consequently taken its own position that the chosen team which includes Gooch will stand.
