Staff Reporter06-Aug-2001The President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), ACMuthiah will talk to the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly regarding thelatter’s temper tantrums. The BCCI is displeased at the way Gangulyhas been involved in skirmishes on the field. It should be mentionedhere that in the recent Coca-Cola Cup, Ganguly was suspended for onematch and then fined 75% of his match fee in another. BCCI officialsfeel that Ganguly is bringing disrepute to the game because of hisfrequent loss of temper.In fact, things have reached such a stage that a number of BCCIofficials have even asked for his replacement as captain of the Indianteam. At the moment, however, the President and the secretary JaywantLele are of the view that he should continue, simply because there isno one to replace him. However, the BCCI president has decided that hewill definitely talk to the Indian captain and ask him to show somerestraint on the field.It is not only the officials who are peeved with Ganguly. Along withthem at least three selectors on the national panel are also angrywith him. The failure of the Indian team to win the Coca-Cola Cup willno doubt put further pressure on Ganguly as far as his relations withthe selection committee goes.
