Ganguly's temper tantrums: Muthiah to talk to the captain
Staff Reporter - 6 August 2001

The President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), AC Muthiah will talk to the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly regarding the latter's temper tantrums. The BCCI is displeased at the way Ganguly has been involved in skirmishes on the field. It should be mentioned here that in the recent Coca-Cola Cup, Ganguly was suspended for one match and then fined 75% of his match fee in another. BCCI officials feel that Ganguly is bringing disrepute to the game because of his frequent loss of temper.

In fact, things have reached such a stage that a number of BCCI officials have even asked for his replacement as captain of the Indian team. At the moment, however, the President and the secretary Jaywant Lele are of the view that he should continue, simply because there is no one to replace him. However, the BCCI president has decided that he will definitely talk to the Indian captain and ask him to show some restraint on the field.

It is not only the officials who are peeved with Ganguly. Along with them at least three selectors on the national panel are also angry with him. The failure of the Indian team to win the Coca-Cola Cup will no doubt put further pressure on Ganguly as far as his relations with the selection committee goes.
