| Dravid told Chappell he can’t drop Ganguly, says Amitabh Choudhary | | |  Agencies
New Delhi, Aug 9: The Ganguly-Chappell saga seems to have taken a new turn almost after ten years since the incident first surfaced, owing to which the former India captain Sourav Ganguly had to lose his place in the Indian team. Somebody who followed the incident very closely has come up with some new facts that may come as a surprise to many, specially what followed after the incident that took place in Zimbabwe.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) joint secretary Amitabh Choudhary who was the team manager in that tour went back on time to describe Ganguly’s reaction once the mattered was conveyed to the then Indian captain, of giving up the captaincy, by Greg Chappell. In a report published in The Times of India, Choudhary was quoted: “It happened at a training session two days before the first Test (in Bulawayo). The skipper left training midway and returned to the empty dressing room. “I asked him what happened. Pointing at Chappell, who was on the ground overseeing the net session, Ganguly said” ‘That guy’s crazy.’ Then he told what Chappell had just said,” Choudhary revealed in his speech at Xavier Institute of Social Service. Choudhary also went on to add: “I instantly understood what had just happened was explosive,” the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) president added. “So after pacifying Ganguly, I had a chat with his deputy Rahul Dravid. Then we walked up to the coach to tell him that dropping the skipper was beyond his jurisdiction.” |
