New Delhi: The former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri on Thursday said that all captain changes can be handled in a better way with “good communication” between BCCI and Virat Kohli.
Kohli, who resigned as captain of the T20i after the 20th World Cup last year, was fired as Captain Odi by the BCCI voter post whom he made some surprising revelations at a press conference before leaving for South Africa.
Contrary to Sourav Ganguly’s statement that he personally informed Virat not to hand over captain T20i, Kohli said that there was no communication from the council as soon as he decided to let go of the leadership in the shortest format in September.
Regarding Captain Odi, Kohli said he had been told that the selection was removed only 90 minutes before the selection committee meeting to choose a test team for South African tours earlier this month.

“I have been part of this system for many years, I was part of this team for the past seven years.
With good communication, this can be handled a lot, much better, instead of going out in the public domain,” said Shastri Ekspres India.
“Virat has given the side of the story, it needs a president of the board to come and give the side of the story, or give clarification about whatever happens.
That’s all,” he added.
According to Shastri, this is not about whether Kohli or Ganguly lied.
Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly (AFP photo) “This is not a question about who is lying here.
The question is what really truth.
You want to know the truth and it can only come with dialogue and communication.
There is nothing else,” said.
“One person will sit on one side and say something.
Others will sit on the other side and say something.
There must be some clarity and you need dialogue from both sides, not one side,” he added.
The famous commentator added that Kohli decided that he did not want to continue as captain T20i, maybe there was only one leader for two white ball formats, where Rohit Sharma has now taken over.
“You have to have one captain for white ball cricket.
Rohit Sharma is the T20 captain, so he also has to be the white ball captain,” Shastri said.
