If you get it through the media. If such things come to light, then there will be problems. There should be a lot of coordination between the players and the board. If this happens then issues can be resolved. If we have to show the issues in a big way or show things in a big way, then in such a situation the issues are not resolved, so there should be a dialogue between the players and the board.”
For information, let us tell you that after the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli had left the T20 captaincy of the Indian team, because he wanted to focus more on the game by managing his workload.
But after leaving the T20 captaincy, the BCCI removed Virat Kohli from the captaincy of ODIs and handed over the responsibility of white ball cricket to Rohit Sharma.
After this, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said that we had asked Virat to reconsider leaving the T20 captaincy, but Virat denied BCCI President Sourav Ganguly’s statement.
