Have not applied my mind on Ram Guha's suggestion: Srinath
2 Jun 2017 10:19 PM IST
Former fast bowler Javagal Srinath on Friday did not comment on Ramachandra Guha's suggestion that he should be inducted into the Committee of Administration. Guha, who has tendered his resignation in Supreme Court yesterday, in a letter to Vinod Rai has suggested Srinath's name as his replacement. "I have not heard anything of that sort. I have not even applied my mind to that (on the issue).
I think I will first see what has been written and what has been said and maybe react later," Srinath told reporters today. He felt that time is not appropriate to air one's views on alleged rift between chief coach Anil Kumble and captain Virat Kohli. "Time is not right to speak about it (controversy), I think we all need to be a little more positive to see this issue. We want India to do well in this (Champions Trophy) tournament," Srinath said.
"Anil has a big stature in Indian cricket and Virat Kohli is a wonderful talent. I think we should allow them to finish this tournament first. We should wish the Indian team instead of speculating about who said what and what the differences are," said Srinath.
Anil Kumble unwilling to continue as coach: Reports
Anil Kumble is unwilling to continue as Team India Head Coach. Sources have said that the former India captain has expressed his unwillingness to stay at the post after the issue of a tiff between him and team captain Virat Kohli snowballed over the last couple of days. If Kumble does not relent, then former India batsman Virender Sehwag may take over after the ICC Champions Trophy. According to the sources, the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) will be meeting Kumble in an effort to try and persuade him to stay on.
