Guha, one of the four members of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) appointed by the Supreme Court to run the BCCI and who submitted his resignation on Thursday, spared no one and questioned skipper Virat Kohli’s role in selection of coach, besides alleging conflict of interest on part of Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid.
The letter also questioned the move to give former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni a Grade A Central Contract despite not playing all three formats.
In a seven-page letter, Guha has expressed his disgust to the committee’s chairperson and former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai for the “extremely insensitive and unprofessional manner” that the speculated Kohli-Kumble fallout was handled by BCCI CEO (Rahul Johri) and the BCCI office-bearers (Amitabh Chaudhary).
In his parting shot, he recommended Javagal Srinath’s name as his replacement as a former cricketer in the Committee of Administrators.
