Hampshire chairman Rod Bransgrove has claimed that Michael Carberry may have hurt his chances of playing for England by criticising Ashley Giles.
Limited-overs coach Giles was the target of comments made by Carberry earlier this week as the opening bastman looked to vent his frustration after falling out of favour towards the end of the team's stay in Australia during the winter.
"I don't think, from Michael's point of view, those comments will necessarily assist his career," Bransgrove told BBC Radio Solent.
"We don't have an administration that really welcomes appraisal or criticism. I don't suppose those comments will be particularly well received.
"As constructive or as helpful as they may be in the right forum, probably putting them in the public domain is not that helpful. But, as far as I am concerned, everyone is entitled to voice their own opinion."
Carberry played in all five Ashes Tests, but was left out of the limited-overs series which followed and the Twenty20 World Cup squad.
