NEW DELHI, Dec 6: In the wake of alleged displeasure between India captain MS Dhoni and selection committee over the exclusion of paceman Rudra Pratap Singh from the ODI team against England, a report has said that the BCCI has decided to shun the voting capacity of both coach and captain during the selection committee meetings.

According to the report, captain can only pick the final playing eleven and will no longer have any say on the selection of the squad. Since the board is not going to listen to the captain or coach over the selection issue, question has raised over the benefit of inviting both of them in such meetings.

The BCCI has also strictly warned board members as well as the team captain and coach against any leakage of information about the boardroom meeting to media. It is also come to light that Dhoni was not happy over the selection of M Vijay as opener in place of Gautam Gambhir during the recently concluded Australia series.

Last month, Dhoni reportedly offered to resign from the post following paceman RP Singh’s exclusion from the ODI team which was vehemently denied by the BCCI. Later, Dhoni also denied the media reports of rift between him and selectors over pacer RP Singh’s exclusion from the ODI squad against England. According to reports, Dhoni had a disagreement with the selectors during the selection committee meeting to pick the team for the fourth and fifth ODIs against England.—Agencies
