Kohli yet to speak to Ganguly on Dhoni's future

India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday (22) said he hasn't had any conversation with Sourav Ganguly with regards to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's international future and believes that the BCCI's President-elect will get in touch with him when he needs to.

Dhoni, who is on a sabbatical from international cricket, is not expected to play against Bangladesh in the upcoming T20 series.


The former skipper dropped in to meet the Indian team members and Kohli jokingly told journalists to come to the change room and say "hello" to Dhoni.

After being nominated as the BCCI's President-elect, Ganguly had said that he would like to speak to the selectors as well as Dhoni to know what they had in mind.

"I congratulated him (Ganguly). It's great that he has become BCCI President. But he's not spoken to me about that (MS) yet. He will get in touch with me when he has to. I am sure I will go and meet him when he tells me to," the Indian skipper said at the post-match press conference.

In fact, Ganguly on Monday said that he will speak to Kohli on October 24 as he believes that the decision to opt out of the Bangladesh T20 series, which starts November 3, rests with the Indian captain.

"I will meet him (Kohli) just like a BCCI president meets the Indian captain. It's up to him to decide if he wants rest," Ganguly told reporters.

Why has ‘net zero’ become such a political headache for Britain?

  • MPs have called for “net zero” to be removed from the name of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and from key government communications.
  • The committee says misinformation and concerns over energy costs have damaged the phrase’s positive association.
  • Andy Burnham has reaffirmed Britain’s commitment to reaching net zero by 2050 and announced new funding for community-led clean-energy projects.

The phrase 'net zero' is becoming an increasingly awkward piece of political language in Britain.

The Commons Energy Security and Net Zero Committee has argued that the term has lost much of its positive association and has become a “lightning rod” for opposition to climate action.
