Kolkata, June 27 (Cricketnmore) Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday said the controversy involving ex-national team coach Anil Kumble and skipper Virat Kohli could have been handled a lot better by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Talking to reporters here, Ganguly who is part of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) of the BCCI responsible for selecting the coach, said: "The matter should have been handled a lot better, Anil Kumble and Virat Kohli. It should have been handled a lot better by whoever is in charge. It wasn't handled properly."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about the news that Ravi Shastri has applied for the coach's job after the BCCI extended the deadline for applications to July 9, Ganguly said: "Everybody has got the right to apply."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ganguly was on Tuesday named in the seven-member Special Committee formed by the BCCI to identify the critical points in implementation of the Justice R.M. Lodha Committee reforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The committee will face the music from Committee of Administrators," a laughing Ganguly said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I don't know what is the exact role. Will have to find out."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about the Lodha Committee recommendations like 'one-state, one-vote', age cap of 70 years for office-bearers, increasing the number of members in the selection panel to five from the current three, and several others, Ganguly said: "There are lots more. There will be a meeting on the 1st (of July). There everything will be decided."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Special Committee is expected to begin work in the next two days and is likely to submit its first report within a fortnight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) will have an emergent meeting on July 1 to discuss the way forward with the Lodha Committee reforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We did not have SGM last year. Till the reforms are done it won't happen. We have informed the members of the meeting to discuss what's the way forward," Ganguly added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
