Former India captain Ganguly said on Thursday that the BCCI had asked Kohli not to step down as T20 captain, but revealed that he did not want to continue.
“The selectors felt that they cannot have two white-ball captains in two white-ball formats,” Ganguly told the Press Trust of India.
“Bottom line – there can’t be two white-ball captains,” added the former India captain.
“I can’t explain more about what was discussed and what the selectors have said, but this is the primary reason for having Rohit as white-ball captain. Virat accepted it.”
