One representative said some players who are selected to the squad hardly feature for their teams.   The delegate said some experienced players have lost interest in playing for the squad because they are never given a chance.  Other delegates called for transparency in the selection of national team players.  They wanted to know why good players are left out in preference for untested faces. 

Another delegate charged that the national team has never achieved the desired results.   But BBA committee members countered the national team has only participated in one tournament.
