Chappell tells BCCI to Frig OFF
The BCCI reportedly has strict dos and don'ts for the commentators. The commentary team is reportedly barred from criticising Indian team selection, advocating the Decision Review System and discussing about the BCCI's administrative affairs.
According to a Hindustan Times report, former Australia captain Ian Chappell refused a place on the commentary panel because he disagreed with the terms and conditions set by the BCCI.

I emailed back asking who I was working for and the reply was; I was contracted by ESPN but I would be subject to BCCI restrictions," Chappell told HT. "I emailed back to ask what these restrictions were and was told; 'I couldn't talk about Indian selection, DRS or administrative matters. I responded saying I didn't feel I could do my job properly under those circumstances and therefore declined the offer."
