Chappell ready to meet BCCI with report

Team India coach Greg Chappell is unlikely to get an extension but the Australian is eager to meet the cricket board officials and give his version of the disastrous World Cup campaign.

Chappell is likely to reach India with the squad when it leaves the Caribbean in the next two days.

It is understood that Chappell doesn't expect his contract to be renewed by the cricket board but he still needs to meet his employers and, not the least, submit his report on India's performance in the World Cup.

The former Australian captain is aware that the nation would react strongly on the team's return, and he could bear the brunt of their ire but he isn't the kind of person to shirk away from his responsibility.

Meanwhile, it is not sure that all members of the Indian team would return home as one unit. A few, it is learnt, are planning to spend a few days in London and the United States.
