That’s why Sourav Ganguly, the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), announced Thursday that the selectors didn’t want to have two separate white-ball ODI leaders.
“The BCCI and the selectors made this decision together. Virat had been asked by the BCCI not to step down as the T20I captain, but he refused. Ganguly said the selectors didn’t think it was appropriate to have two different white-ball captains for two distinct tournaments.
That’s why Virat will remain Test captain and Rohit will take over as white-ball skipper. Virat Kohli has spoken to both the president and the chairman of the selectors.
Rohit Sharma’s leadership talents are fully supported, and Virat will continue as the Test captain. ” Indian cricket is in good hands with the BCCI. The BCCI president went on to say, “We thank Virat Kohli for his services in the white-ball game.”
