BCCI dismisses Virat Kohli stance over lack of communication, says he was kept in the loop

The BCCI has dismissed India Test captain Virat Kohli's stance over lack of communication, saying that he was kept in the loop over the T20I captaincy matter.

After Virat Kohli's sensational claim in the press conference, the BCCI dismissed the India Test captain's stance over lack of communication, saying that he was kept in the loop over the T20I captaincy matter. A BCCI official told India Today that the board did speak to Virat Kohli in September and urged him not to give up the T20 captaincy.

"Virat Kohli can’t say that we didn’t keep him in the loop. We spoke to Virat in Sept and asked him not to quit the T20 captaincy. Once Virat gave up the T20 captaincy on his own, it was difficult to have 2 white ball captains. Chetan Sharma told Virat about the ODI captaincy on the morning of the meeting," a BCCI official told India Today.
