Sir— This refers to the editorial, “One titanic controversy” (June 5). It seems that controversy has become a middle name for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). All this does not augur well for Indian cricket. Spin legend Anil Kumble came with a huge wealth of experience and produced amazing results too. One may argue that whatever we have achieved till date is on home soil. The real test lies on the foreign soil. But if captain Virat Kohli is not happy with Kumble’s attitude, these things can be better sorted out across the table in the presence of the Committee of Administrators (CoA).
Each individual is different. Both the captain and the coach need to understand this. There are not many with Kumble’s stature to be appointed as the next coach, so the BCCI and the CoA need to tread carefully. No one is above the game, and Indian cricket’s interest should be paramount. Egos have no place in such matters.
