Sourav Ganguly shouldn’t have spoken on captaincy issue: Dilip Vengsarkar

Dilip Vengsarkar and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly

Former India captain and chairman of selectors Dilip Vengsarkar feels that board president Sourav Ganguly wasn't right in airing his views on Virat Kohli's captaincy saga which has triggered a controversy.

Ahead of their departure to South Africa, Kohli in a media conference said that no one from BCCI told him not to quit T20 captaincy, contrary to Ganguly's claims that he had spoken to the skipper on the issue.

Vengsarkar on his part, opined that Ganguly had no business to speak in 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, told PTI.
