New twist in Kumble-Shastri controversy
posted on Jul 1, 2016 @ 8:00PM
In a new twist to the Anil Kumble and Ravi Shastri tale, Shastri has tendered his resignation from the post as media representative in ICC's prestigious Cricket Committee. The twist here is that the chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee is Anil Kumble.
Who got ahead of Shastri in the race to become the Indian cricket team's coach, which according to sources had some help of Sourav Ganguly as well. In a statement, when asked as to why he resigned he said, "I have already submitted my resignation. There are personal commitments and I have been there for six years". Though the official reason is that he is busy with media commitments as commentator, TV expert and columnist but there is intense speculation that the former all-rounder may have resigned as he is yet to come to terms with rejection from being the new coach of the Indian team, which he was working on earlier.
