Canadian coach Andy Pick said his team?s defeat to Bermuda on Saturday was down to a lack of application and failure to execute on the day.

Pick refused to add fuel to the fire of an ongoing controversy that spilled over last Friday with Canada team manager Mike Henry slamming the national selectors for making several changes to a ?winning team?.

Pick, however, did indicate he may have to adopt a more hands-on approach with his coaching methods, as opposed to ?leaving the players to do what they want to do?.

?To be fair I?d rather not comment on selection because I don?t have any input into it,? the Englishman said.

?I am given a squad of players and as much as I would like to think every other Associate country has their coach as a selector that is not the way things work in Canada and so I have to work with the players that I?m given.

?And if the selectors choose a different bunch of players, then I just have to work with them to the best of my ability.

?You could probably say the changes made to team might have done have caused the defeat. But I?m more interested in the people who played letting themselves down by the way they played.

?If the guys that we picked played their best cricket and had fallen short, then we could blame the changes made in the team.

?But as it was the people that played are better than that and until they can perform somewhere near their potential we have to look at that rather than worrying changes in the team.?

Pick did admit, however, that he is concerned over his team?s current losing streak in ODIs.

?It is definitely a huge cause for concern for me ? I don?t what it is and if anything it should be the other way around because the guys are playing one day cricket all of the time,? he said.

?We lost all ten wickets caught today and with the exception of maybe one or two decent balls, gave our wickets away.?
