Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has hit out at injury management of some of country's premier bowlers, who he feels have made the National Cricket Academy (NCA), their permanent residency.

"Let's put it this way: there are quite a few in the last three or four years who are permanent residents of the NCA. Soon, they'll get a resident permit there to walk in any time they want, which is not a good thing at all. It's unreal," Shastri said sarcastically on ESPNCricinfo's digital video.
