Mumbai: The former Chairman of the Selection Committee, Dilip Vengsarkar, on Friday said he would refrain from responding to Sourav Ganguly’s outburst against the selectors till the end of the current series against Australia as it could divert the team’s focus. “I won’t answer him now as this is not the right time because India is in the middle of a Test series (against Australia) and it might affect the focus of the team,” Vengsarkar said. “But I will definitely answer him after the series is over. He will get more than what he has asked for,” he added. Ganguly hit out at the selectors for the way he was treated and said he decided to retire to save himself the humiliation of being treated as the “sacrificial goat” all the time. Vengsarkar also said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) would look into the matter and find out what Ganguly had told the Bengali daily. A news channel in a press release late on Thursday quoted Vengsarkar as saying, “Sourav should stay away from making any statements when he is playing as it will create unnecessary controversies.” — PTI
