'Dravid must stay captain'
Pti, Mumbai
Springing to the support of beleaguered captain Rahul Dravid, Cricket Board Secretary Niranjan Shah on Tuesday said there was no better man than the Bangalore stalwart to lead the Indian team in the aftermath of the squad's debacle in the World Cup."There's no better option than Dravid as captain, but this is my personal view. I feel another youngster can be groomed under him to take over at a later stage," the BCCI official said. Shah categorically said that he had not formed this opinion after interacting with coach Greg Chappell following the team's return last week from the West Indies. He also said the BCCI's Working Committee was to decide on April seven about the future of Chappell who was appointed as the coach till the World Cup. But the BCCI official denied that the former Australian captain had indicated his unwillingness to continue if he was offered the post again. "The Working Committee will take the decision on the appointment of a new coach for the team. But Greg Chappell has not hinted about his unwillingness to continue as coach (as reported in a national daily)," Shah added.
