Ganguly Attending Selection Meetings: BCCI house divided on allegations on board President, cricket fans says ‘Sourav Ganguly complete disgrace’
What exactly is the matter? The entire matter come into the forefront as one of the senior journalist tweeted that a ‘BCCI official’ had been interfering with the team selection matters for quite some time.
The journalist claimed that the official bearer did so by inviting himself to the selection committee meeting despite knowing that he had no business of attending those meetings.
For quite some time, a BCCI official kept inviting himself to selection committee meetings even when he knew he should have stayed away.
Captain and coach were helpless. Couldn’t do anything. He had no business being there.
I hope such instances are not repeated in the future.

The information by the journalist was further interpreted, confirmed by other group of jorunalists confirming that the alleged official is SOURAV GANGULY who has been attending BCCI Selections meeting forcefully.
First, Shastri’s direct attack on Ganguly and second these “Source based”, close to BCCI journalists criticizing Ganguly for interfering in selection meetings, I don’t think these are meaningless developments.
Getting a feel that Ganguly’s days as BCCI president are numbered.

What does the BCCI Constitution says? As per the BCCI’s constitution, the board president is not allowed to interfere in the selection matters.
The constitution allows any BCCI Secretary to convene & attend the selection meetings.
The BCCI Selectors are the final authority to select the team.
As an convention they always speak to Team captain & coach before the selection meetings. But it is the selectors responsibility to select & finalize the team.
Some of the cricket fans now have described “Ganguly as aboslute disgrace” for the allegations against him

So it was @SGanguly99 who was the BCCI Office guy who was in all selection meetings so far. This was in KSR tweet a few days back also .
Very clear the “Source” for Boria & other media houses on selection & other BCCI matters . You’re a disgrace Ganguly. https://t.co/wHxrAfTBBc

This conversation came on TL 5 days ago. At that time, wasn’t sure if I should believe it. But with the video which has come out today, if it has even an iota of truth, then the affairs in the board are more messy than what we think.
What a sad state of affairs really. pic.twitter.com/ahqTfrbYSp

You know what else is problematic apart from the obvious Ganguly- Shah duo? The presence of Rohit Sharma.
The day a leader decides to share power is the day he loses the room. So many news saying that dressing room is a divided house.
