In yet another explosive revelation, Raj Singh Dungarpur, former BCCI president has said that erstwhile coach John Wright resigned saying he could not work with Jagmohan Dalmiya and Sourav Ganguly. In fact, the main reason for the New Zealander’s resignation as coach of Team India was because of the interference by the Indian skipper and former BCCI president Dalmiya and later by the present incumbent Ranbir Singh Mahendra. The Indian team, after surmounting the pinnacle with a history-making defeat of Pakistan on tour in 2004, gradually slid into an abyss that led to Wright resigning. A day before the Review Committee meeting of the Cricket Board in Mumbai, former Dungarpur asked for Ganguly's head to help solve the raging controversy engulfing the game in the country. Slamming both Ganguly and Dalmiya, who is a member of the Review Committee, Dungarpur said as such the only way out is for Ganguly to "put in his papers" and allow coach Greg Chappell to continue his task of taking Indian cricket forward. "It's painful for me to criticise an Indian captain, but I feel in this situation it's Ganguly who should quit. But I know this is not going to happen as he's been protected right through his tenure by another person from Kolkata, Dalmiya", Dungarpur told a press conference here today. Dungarpur also accused Dalmiya for being directly or indirectly responsible for the leak to the media of the confidential e-mail of Chappell from Zimbabwe, in which he had levelled serious charges against Ganguly, "The leak was to a Bengali paper and only two men (to whom the mail was sent) knew the lingua franca. One was Dalmiya and the other was (board's joint secretary) Gautam Dasgupta who would not have done anything without the former's knowledge", the former national selection committee chairman said. "Board president Ranbir Singh has to come clean on what is turning out to he a cheap soap opera. He has to answer as to how a copy of such a sensitive e-mail was sent to Mr. Dalmiya", queried Dungarpur. in-depth coverage > India in Zimbabwe 2005 > |
