Coach Greg Chappell believes Sourav Ganguly is no longer fit to lead the Indian side and has threatened to quit if the captain is not changed, an Indian cricket board source said on Friday.Chappell, the former Australian captain and batting great who took charge of the Indian team in June, sent an e-mail to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) saying Ganguly did not deserve a place in the team either, the source said. "Chappell has told the BCCI that he will find it difficult to continue if Ganguly is retained as captain," said the source who has seen the e-mail from Zimbabwe. "The coach believes Ganguly is not physically or mentally fit to lead and had lost the respect of the younger players in the team." BCCI president Ranbir Singh Mahendra confirmed he had received Chappell's mail, but declined to reveal its contents on the pretext it was a confidential report. Chappell's missive came a day after India routed lowly Zimbabwe 2-0 to record their first test series win outside the sub-continent since 1986 when they beat England. The victory took Ganguly's record as India's most successful test captain to 21 wins, seven more than second-placed Mohammad Azharuddin's tally of 14. Both Chappell and Ganguly were flying back from Zimbabwe on Friday and were unavailable for comment. in-depth coverage > India in Zimbabwe 2005 > |
