Bangar could face trouble for row with selector

Sacked India batting coach Sanjay Bangar will be questioned by the BCCI for allegedly misbehaving with national selector Devang Gandhi if outgoing administrative manager Sunil Subramanian or head coach Ravi Shastri file an official report on the matter.

Reports have emerged that during the just-concluded West Indies tour, Bangar, who has now been replaced by Vikram Rathour, confronted the selector in his hotel room and the exchange wasn’t exactly friendly.

“In such a scenario, one needs to go strictly by the rule book. First and foremost, the man whom Bangar is alleged to have insulted, national selector Gandhi, needs to officially report the matter,” a senior BCCI official said.

It was the national selection committee that was in-charge of the support staff appointments. Bangar was the only one in the existing setup to be axed with Bharat Arun and R Sridhar retaining their respective jobs.

While the BCCI officials acknowledged Bangar’s confrontation with Gandhi, they are not sure whether the matter should be escalated now that he is no longer contracted by the BCCI.
