BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has backed India's head coach Rahul Dravid, saying it is 'not ideal' to work with seven different captains in a short period of time. Ganguly's comments came after India's heartbreaking seven-wicket defeat at Edgbaston during their recent Test versus England.

In the recently released central contract list from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Hardik Pandya, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara are some of the big names who have been demoted. The updated list of new contracts was released on Wednesday by the BCCI for Indian cricketers.

Former India cricketer and coach Madan Lal believes that the ongoing limited-overs captaincy row between Virat Kohli and the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly is merely a matter of opinion, and not a controversy. He added that the issue will be resolved once Ganguly gives a clear explanation.

Sunil Gavaskar feels that BCCI president Sourav Ganguly should be asked about the discrepancy which surfaced due to the contradictory statements given by him and India Test captain Virat Kohli over the latter’s captaincy role. Gavaskar asked for a clear communication between the board and players.
