Chetan Sharma resigned from his post as the Chief Selector of BCCI and sent his resignation to Secretary Jay Shah, who accepted it, reported ANI. Sharma was recently caught up in an ugly controversy after a sting operation brought him under immense scrutiny.
BCCI's Previous Comments
"No player or selector will be comfortable on sharing a cordial relationship even with well meaning journalists after this sting as the trust factor has been compromised," a senior BCCI source PTI on conditions of anonymity.
"Chetan spoke a bit too much. None of the top India players talk to him. Have you seen him speak to Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma publicly in any training session. He would stand in one corner during T20 World Cup in Australia and no one bothered to speak to him," another BCCI source who was present in Australia said.
