New Delhi: BCCI boss Anurag Thakur yesterday slammed former selection committee chief Sandeep Patil, saying it was "unethical" on his part to reveal certain confidential details about Sachin Tendulkar, M S Dhoni and others after his tenure ended earlier this month.
Thakur stopped short of saying that action will be taken against Patil but said "right people in the BCCI" will speak to him soon over the issue which has created a major controversy.
Patil, a former international cricketer, recently disclosed that the selection panel would have dropped Sachin Tendulkar before he eventually quit international cricket and that it had also considered removing M S Dhoni from ODI captaincy ahead of the 2015 World Cup.
Different strokes "Let me make it very clear. Sandeep being a former chairman should not have made these comments. When he was the chairman, he replied differently to the same questions. But after that (his tenure), it was different. It was totally unethical of him to do that," said Thakur.
"One should refrain from making such unethical and unwanted comments in this area (selection matters). It is because he has been trusted to become the chairman, because he has played enough cricket. There were four more selectors with him, they did not say anything. He (Patil) should have avoided that," the BCCI president said.
Breach of confidentiality Asked whether any action was being contemplated by the Cricket Board against Patil over the breach of confidentiality, he said, "Right people in the BCCI will speak to him soon." Thakur went to the extent of saying such breach of confidentiality would make it difficult for any of future employers of Patil to trust him.
"Any organisation, if they hire him (Patil), will think 10 times that after leaving the organisation, he will speak about the organisation," he said. Patil's three-year tenure ended earlier this month.
Besides spilling the beans on Dhoni and Tendulkar, Patil while speaking to a TV channel, had said that current coach Anil Kumble and Test captain Virat Kohli had spoken to Cheteshwar Pujara on improving his strike rate as the batsman struggled in the recent tour of the West Indies.
