Indian cricket board (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah on Thursday (October 24) met captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma to discuss a “roadmap” for Indian cricket on the sidelines of the selection committee meeting to announce India squad for Bangladesh series.

Head coach Ravi Shastri was not part of the meeting, though, as Ganguly will have a one-on-one with him during the Test match against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens next month. It is being said that MS Dhoni’s future in international cricket was also discussed during the meeting, although, everyone stayed silent on the matter.

A BCCI source was quoted as saying by PTI, “The president and the secretary wanted to meet the captain and the vice-captain. There were some discussions on the roadmap. The president gave his inputs which were refreshing.”

While Shah convened the meeting in the presence of the board president, the BCCI shared a photo of the meeting on its twitter handle.

The caption reads: “All smiles at the Senior Selection Committee meeting earlier this afternoon as the teams for the forthcoming T20I & Test series against Bangladesh were announced #TeamIndia.”

Rohit was present in the meeting as he will lead India in the upcoming three-match T20 International series against Bangladesh starting from November 3 while Kohli returns to his national duty for Test series after a short break to maintain his workload.
