Amarnath told Times Now that "certain internal reasons" stopped the selection committee led by K Srikkanth from replacing Dhoni after the Australia tour.
Amarnath, who was tipped to replace Srikkanth as chief selector in September this year, said: "Definitely there were discussions to replace Dhoni and people had even agreed to do so, but for some internal reasons, it didn't happen. I would not like to divulge what the reasons were. But when the time is right, I will let the people of this country know about the reasons."
Amarnath referred to his differences with current BCCI chief N Srinivasan and said: "In Indian politics and cricket, it's always the same. there are people who are controlling the game and other people are too scared to take a stand."
