NEW DELHI: National selection committee chairman Dilip Vengsarkar has offered to quit his post following the controversy involving him and the Board Secretary Niranjan Shah. Vengsarkar confided to his fellow selectors that he was hurt at the treatment being meted out by the Board and was particularly disappointed with Mr. Shah’s efforts to belittle him. Vengsarkar’s offer to resign was made to the Board president Sharad Pawar. According to Board Vice-president Rajiv Shukla, “Dilip told Mr. Pawar that he was not keen to continue under the prevailing circumstances.” Vengsarkar was livid at Mr. Shah changing the dates of the selection committee meeting without consulting him. Vengsarkar did not like the Board’s move to stop him from writing columns and then the manner in which he was told to carry on selection of the team for the third Test at Bangalore through a telephonic conference with his four colleagues. Mr. Shukla said, “Dilip was told by Mr. Pawar to defer the matter until the selection of the Indian team for the Australian tour. The Board was of the view that personal matters should be set aside in national interest. Selection of the team for the Australian tour is of more importance than the differences between Vengsarkar and some individual.” — Special Correspondent
