Dhoni Has No Business To Decide Fletcher's Future, Says BCCI Official

"What happened is very disappointing and unbecoming of an Indian captain. The matter will come up for discussion at the next working committee meeting of the board.

"Obviously, Dhoni has overstepped his brief as an Indian captain. The media can ask him any question but being a matured cricketer, he should know what his lines are. Just like BCCI officials are not going to decide who is in the playing XI, Dhoni does not decide who is going to stay till what time.

"He has not been entrusted with the duty of recruiting the support staff or commenting on their tenure," said the official, who has also accompanied Indian team as manager on various tours.

BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel had made it clear that the team would now be "Ravi Shastri's baby" and Fletcher will have to report to him.

Shastri himself had said in media interviews that Fletcher will have to report to him and he will be the overall incharge of the team.

However, Dhoni came at the pre-match press conference and put his weight behind the beleaguered coach Fletcher by declaring that he continued to remain the 'boss' and will stay in that position till the 2015 World Cup.

"He (Fletcher) will lead us into the World Cup," Dhoni had said at the press conference.
