BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma quits amid sting operation controversy

All-India Selection Committee Chairman for the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), Chetan Sharma, stepped down from his role following classified team and management revelations during a sting operation conducted by a television channel.

Sharma who has been the chief national selector was removed from his post following India's dismal show at the T20 World Cup in Australia. The BCCI official was shockingly re-instated recently. Sharma sent his resignation to BCCI Secretary Jay Shah.

The move comes days after the 57-year-old claimed that there was a huge clash of egos between Virat Kohli and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. Sharma also revealed, the reason behind Virat Kohli’s removal as captain, attributing the same to his soured relationship with the former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly.

Sharma also allegedly revealed his internal discussions with head coach Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli during a sting operation. The series of revelations by Sharma also remarked that cricketers in the national team often took secret injections to get fit before important matches and were being overlooked by the BCCI as prominent players were doing this.
