Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, does not understand the manner in which a player who joined the team after a gap of eighteen months was made the vice-captain. Ganguly’s reaction was against Ajinkya Rahane being made vice-captain in the Test cricket series against West Indies. “Consistency and continuity are what the selectors should consider,” Ganguly said. Rahane is a player who was out of the team a year and a half ago. However, he was selected for the final of the World Test Championship. The score was 89 and 46. After that, he became the vice-captain in the series with Windies. The decision was made by the selection committee headed by interim selector Shivsunder Das. Making Rahane the vice-captain is a backward decision. There is Ravindra Jadeja. He has been in the team for a long time. A player who should be considered for the position of vice-captain’ – Ganguly clarified. The former captain also said that a player like Cheteshwar Pujara cannot be dismissed. “Management should communicate clearly to such players if a change is intended in the team. The method of expelling, then taking back and excluding again is not correct’ – the 50-year-old commented. Read on deshabhimani.com
