Internet Desk: BCCI’s Chief Executive officer Rahul Johri has asked for a report from Team India’s administrative manager Kapil Malhotra on the Anil Kumble- Virat Kohli rift after Kumble decided to resign from the post of chief coach of Indian cricket team.
According to the sources COA chief Vinod Rai will talk about Kumble’s sudden exit with the top officials of the BCCI in Mumbai on June 24.
A senior BCCI official said that Rahul Johri, who is in England right now to attend the ICC Annual Conference, has asked for a detailed report from Kapil regarding this issue.
“Johri asked for a report from Malhotra about what exactly happened in England. Johri is expected to then submit it to COA chief Vinod Rai. Malhotra is currently in West Indies — his last assignment as Indian team’s administrative manager. He is expected to give his report to CEO soon,” the source told PTI today.
When asked that the tension started much earlier than England, the source said that COA has even taken that into account.
“The CEO will also check if Anil Patel, the administrative manager during the entire home series has given any report mentioning the difference between the captain and the coach. If so, that report also needs to be submitted to the COA,” the source further added.
It was learnt that COA were only made aware of the differences when they spoke separately to Kohli and Kumble on the day of the IPL final.
