BCCI CEO Johri set to meet captain Kohli in Jamaica

TIL Desk Sports/ The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s Chief Executive Officer Rahul Johri will be in Jamaica to meet Indian captain Virat Kohli and his team, in an attempt to get a feedback on the appointment of the new head coach. Johri is expected to arrive in Kingston by Wednesday evening to have a detailed discussion with skipper Kohli on the appointment of the coach and other support staff.

“Yes, Rahul has left for Jamaica with permission of the Committee of Administrators (COA). He has been instructed with the task of getting feedback from the captain and the team. The team’s feedback will then be passed to the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) to take all parameters into account,” a BCCI official privy to the development said on Wednesday.

The move is perceived by many as BCCI and COA’s method of trying to gauge the mood of the team as they don’t want any discord over the new appointment. A few days ago, Kohli had said that he will only air his view if the BCCI asks for it. But questions are also being raised whether taking feedback from the team tantamounts to showing CAC comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman in poor light.
