BCCI sacks Saldanha

Saldanah refrained from making any comments.

The problems were far deeper as many in the BCCI believe that he has been done in by the internal regional politics. “Saldanah didn’t get along well with the southern lobby of umpires led by a very senior former Test umpire.

“There were quite a few complaints against him from the state association secretaries and that’s why the BCCI suddenly decided to remove him,” a senior BCCI official said.
