He also said that he bore no malice towards anyone.
In his just released book ''The Future of Cricket: The Rise of Twenty20'', Buchanan has taken a swipe at Sunil Gavaskar, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Mark Ramprakash, Shoaib Akhtar, Kevin Pietersen and Vijay Mallya.
“People would have to read the entire book to understand its meaning,” he said.
While talking of the IPL franchisee meet in Goa before the second season of the T-20 league, Buchanan refers to an incident where his suggestion of allowing more international players to play in the IPL was referred to the IPL technical committee, which is headed by Gavaskar.
To this, Buchanan writes, "What this means is that any ideas that affect the way T20 might be played are referred to a committee chaired by a person who is blinkered by bias and tradition."

Why we Indians cannot take some critisism with grace instead of getting emotional. The media goes into a tailspin everytime somebody writes anything about Ganguly or Tendulkar or Gavaskar as if these guys cannot do anything wrong. It is Buchanans observations he may be right or wrong.
Buchanan criticising Indian cricketers is like a street dog pup barking at elephants. Poor pup. During his tenure as coach, aussies won because of warne and gilchrist and not because of his strategies. SRK wasted his money on this pup. Aussies have already demonstrated that they are racists by attacking foriegn students there. Now it seems there cricketers and coaches upper portion seems not to be working as has been proved by symonds and buchanan. A person who has not played a handful of matches for his country should not bark at legends, after all he got his alms given by an Indian. After critcising Indian players every aussie says that he has been taken out of context, another example being gilchrist. BCCI, IPL and Indian cricketers should not hire any hot headed aussie in the future.
