BCCI told me captain has reservations with my 'style': Kumble

June 20, 2017 23:40

Hours after stepping down as the head coach of India Cricket team, Anil Kumble on Tuesday night in a Facebook post confirmed that it was due to captain Kohli's reservations about his "style" and him continuing as the head coach that he had decided to move on.

"I was surprised since I had always respected the role boundaries between captain and coach," read the post, adding that the BCCI had attempted to resolve the misunderstandings between the captain and him, but "it was apparent that the partnership was untenable and I, therefore, believe it is best for me to move on".

In the light of these 'reservations', I believe it is best I hand over this responsibility to whomever the CAC and BCCI deem fit, the post further read.

Kumble's tenure was supposed to come to an end after India's campaign at the Champions Trophy but it was widely expected that he will lead the team in West Indies as well.
