Ganguly shouldn’t have spoken on Kohli’s captaincy: Vengsarkar

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India captain and chairman of selectors Dilip Vengsarkar feels Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sourav Ganguly was wrong in airing his views on behalf of the national selectors over the Virat Kohli captaincy saga.

Ahead of the team’s departure for South Africa, Kohli, in a media conference, said no one from the BCCI told him not to quit T20 captaincy, contrary to Ganguly’s claim that he had spoken to the skipper on the issue. The ‘Colonel’, on his part, opined that Ganguly had no business to speak on the matter.

“The thing is that Ganguly had no business to speak on behalf of the selection committee. He is the BCCI president. Any issue about selection or captaincy, it’s the chairman of selection committee, Chetan Sharma, who should speak,” Vengsarkar, a veteran of 116 Tests said on Wednesday.
