Controversies are nothing new in Indin cricket but the latest one arround India’s coach Gary Kirsten advice to his players to ‘go ahead and indulge’ ahead of the Champions Trophy is truly uncalled for.

Gary Kirsten, tops the lot. Kirsten has advised Indian cricketers to have an active sex life during cricketing tours and if a partner can’t be found, to masturbate. He believes that this raises testosterone levels and consequently players’ aggression, energy and strength – the factors needed to dominate the field.

The four-part document was circulated to Indian crickeers playing in champions trophy also includes details about food and eating habits, from ways to avoid acidity to developing habits that will benefit in the long run as well as advocating caution against diabetes. It also deals withneed for attitudinal changes and to develop physical, spiritual and emotional intelligence.

Many of us are missing the context and looking only at few suggestions made by Gary Kristen. The context and advice given here is different and isbacked by medical professionals

The final part of the document explores the difficulties India has had in playing away from home and draws examples from India’s history as a country and the wars it has fought.

What Do you think coach Gary Kirsten’s advice to members of the Indian cricket team to have sex frequently will improve their performance?
