Team INDIA didn't attended the ICC award function heldin London where Dhoni won the Spirit of Cricket Award. None of the player and officla were present in the ceremony "We are disappointed," Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, told ESPNcricinfo. "They have had a great year [before the England series] and it was an occasion to celebrate. It was a missed opportunity." He added "It was a good opportunity to show their sporting character despite them losing on this tour." While BCCI's chief administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty said "Lorgat can say whatever he wants to. We don't want to comment on it," to the Times of India. Meanwhile "I had already told the boys that it was an off day. So now how could I have asked them to suddenly change their plans? Hence I told them (ICC) that they should not keep the table free for us," Indian team manager Shivlal Yadav said. What the reason that the team didn't get there why? Is there fear of the loss they got in England? what you mylotter think of it?

i think Indian team is unhappy because of the late call for the ceremony,i think they wanted to attempt ceremony before England's tour and at that time team is really struggling and looking helpless...so because of shame they have made this decision of not attending the ICC Award ceremony

yup i am waiting for it and also waiting for another clean sweep from England.and i am waiting for clean sweep because we lost whole tournament because of the selectors as well as Dhoni's attitude.

Sorry warrior007 i didn't reply to you as my internet goes down as i replied the first respond The news said that the inviation came late what manger of the team said as i mentioned in article but they came na if you in your home the invitation came then you will attend for sure as formality it just an excuse nothing else. It not good to say shame on them you may say shame on ICC who did this to them. Perhaps main reason is to show thier power as they were not noticed about the ceremony of the awrd so they didn't attended

I know why the team india player hadn't attend the ICC award ceremony because they feel shy to saw their face in the ceremony as they haven't win a single match how shame it is i am sure about it.
