NEW DELHI: Reacting to Indian skipper MS Dhoni's pre-match press conference comments that he is willing to quit Test captaincy if there is any suitable candidate, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) made it clear that picking the new Test Captain or retaining the current captain is the job of the selectors, and that suggesting names of candidates to the selectors was the job of the working committee.
The bigwigs of board - who have already endorsed their views on split captaincy in Test and ODIs - are ready to have a detailed discussion in the working committee meeting if the members raise the issue. A section of the working committee was even of the view that Dhoni's utterances felt that the skipper may have given up the fight to try and hang on to his position.
Dhoni reportedly said that the selectors seldom gave him the team he wanted. If that was the case, a section of the selectors felt that the Indian skipper should have given the selectors credit after the World Cup win, which Dhoni didn't. Clearly, it's a war out in the open and it may just go out of hand.
"If Dhoni gives credit to the selectors for the World Cup win, then even the selectors are ready to share the blame," a selector told TOI, adding that the chairman of the committee Krish Srikkanth has already taken the blame for the disastrous series.
