South Africa Test series looming, BCCI avoids 'hasty decision' to solve fuss around Virat Kohli
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not looking to heat up the controversy surrounding sacking of Virat Kohli as India’s ODI captain and his press conference any further and is willing to deal the issue amicably considering a high-stake Test series scheduled in couple of weeks time, PTI reported.
The report suggested that the board has pondered various options to sort out the issues that have put the Test skipper Kohli and the president Sourav Ganguly in a virtual face off but they are unlikely to take any “hasty decision” to solve the issue.
“Expert opinion was taken on how to deal with the sensitive matter as it also involves the respect of a president’s office. The BCCI knows that a Test series is round the corner and any hasty decision or statement from them could affect the morale of the team,” PTI quoted an unnamed BCCI official as saying.
Assumptions were rife since Kohli came out in press conference and countered almost all the claims made by Ganguly and media reports. Various media reports suggested that Kohli was seeking rest during the ODI series in South Africa while Ganguly had claimed a conversation with Kohli where he asked him to stay on T20I skipper.
Kohli refuted both the claims that ratchet winds of speculations about misocommunication between BCCI top brass and Kohli over the major issues such as leadership chnage.
