Asked about the reason for Ganguly’s omission, BCCI president N Srinivasan said: “Sourav is still playing. He will be leading Bengal in the Ranji Trophy, so how can he be on the technical committee? A player has to retire to be on the panel.”
New chairman Kumble, who was a member of the technical panel, appeared happy with the promotion although he said: “No role is new for us cricketers.”
