Former India batter Manoj Tiwary addressed Team India's struggles in ICC tournaments over the past decade and said that the side should believe they will be able to win all the major events.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Tiwary rued that sometimes deserving candidates do not get the opportunities and although it is not BCCI's fault at all times, the lack of support has resulted in India missing out on quality talents.

He cited the example of Jalaj Saxena, who has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket over the years but is yet to get a chance in the national team.

"Why are we so happy after winning the ICC tournament after so long and acting like we won't win in the near future? We should believe, and it can happen that we win all the ICC tournaments. When all the facilities are there, players get so much security, where are the performances? The performances are not happening because of the points I have observed and experienced. If these things are taken care of, I am sure India will win many ICC tournaments," Tiwary said.

"Someone gets a push, and sometimes, deserving candidates don't have any big voice or big hand to support them, so they get neglected. But this doesn't mean I am saying BCCI is not doing anything. I commend them for the things they have done for Indian cricket. But we are failing to win every ICC tournament. Why we won't be as successful as Australia as far as winning ICC tournaments are concerned?" he added.

Manoj Tiwary on Thursday (January 9) criticized Gautam Gambhir, calling the India head coach a “hypocrite” who doesn’t walk the talk.

Tiwary questioned Gambhir's appointment as head coach, claiming the former opener lacks clarity and a definitive coaching style. His strongly-worded remarks came in the wake of India’s 1-3 drubbing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under.
