The coach will not have any say in the selection of the new coach, said senior BCCI official Rajeev Shukla on Wednesday after Anil Kumble stepped down from the post.
The BCCI failed to resolve the differences between Anil Kumble and Virat Kohli despite its best efforts, he added, assuring that a new head coach will be appointed before India's tour of Sri Lanka next month.
Hours after he stepped down as the Indian cricket team’s head coach, Kumble on Tuesday revealed that a fallout with captain Virat Kohli was the reason behind his decision, claiming that their partnership had become "untenable" despite attempts to resolve the misunderstandings.
"BCCI tried its level best to resolve the issue. The acting secretary, the CEO, they discussed the matter with Kumble and Kohli in great detail, the board consulted the chairman of the COA (Vinod Rai) also," Shukla told reporters here today.
"They tried to resolve the issues but eventually no outcome could be found out and Kumble decided to move on," he added.
