Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar, according to a report in the Mumbai Mirror, has been dropped from the BCCI’s panel of commentators.
A regular feature in the commentary box in India’s home games, Manjrekar is likely to be left out of the panel for the IPL, which has now been postponed and is set to begin on April 15 instead of the initially scheduled March 29 due to the coronavirus scare.
Manjrekar was not present in
Dharamsala during the first ODI between India and South Africa, which was washed out without a ball being bowled on Thursday.
While there is no clarity yet on the reason behind dropping Manjrekar, the report added that the authorities were not happy with his work.
“Maybe he will be left out from the IPL panel too. At this stage, it is not on top of our minds. But the fact is they are not happy with his work,” a source was quoted.
