Board will meet and decide on Ravi Shastri: Sourav Ganguly
He said the board will meet to take a decision on the issue.
“I haven’t heard anything such. The board (BCCI) will meet up and decide,” Ganguly told reporters during the inauguration of a pre-school Shemrock Global Wisdom here.
On Indian Test team skipper Virat Kohli’s decision to leave out batsman Cheteshwar Pujara and play Rohit Sharma and five specialist bowlers in the one-off Test match against Bangladesh, he said, “It’s his (Kohli’s) decision and its fine. If you want to play five bowlers someone has to be dropped. As far as Rohit is concerned, he batted in the same position against Australia in their last Test match.”
When asked about Indian ODI and T20 International side skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s altered stance and if he ever did it, Ganguly, who has played 113 Tests for India, said, “Yes, I have tried and adjusted. It all depends on how you play the game. Everyone does it.”
Ganguly was recently included in the Indian Cricket Board’s advisory committee.
The Indian team is currently touring Bangladesh where the one-off Test match against the hosts ended in a draw on Sunday.
