NEW DELHI: In reaction to an exclusive TIMES NOW interview with Mohinder Amarnath, the chief of IPL and the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Rajeev Shukla, said on Wednesday that the selectors are free and independent to take their decision and there was no pressure from any board.
He further added, "It was not appropriate for ex-selectors to make such comments or make any observation about the selection process and the board. Whatever once has to say one can say in a committee meeting."
Confirming TOI's front page story dated January 29, 2012, former India all-rounder and outspoken former selector Mohinder Amarnath had admitted that "certain internal reasons" stopped the selection committee from replacing Dhoni then.
In a tell-all interview to TIMES NOW, Amarnath, who was tipped to replace Krish Srikkanth as the chief selector before being unceremoniously booted out, said, "Definitely, there were discussions to replace Dhoni and people had even agreed to do so, but for some internal reason it didn't happen.
I would not like to divulge what the reasons were. But when the time is right, I will let the people of this country know about the reasons," Amarnath, the man of the match in the semifinal and final of India's victorious 1983 World Cup campaign, said.
