Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar has hinted that his term as chief selector of the BCCI’s national selection committee was cut short in 2008 owing to his backing of current Indian skipper Virat Kohli over Tamil Nadu batsman S Badrinath, which did not sit well with then BCCI treasurer N Srinivasan.

Vengsarkar told journalists that his insistence that a teenaged Kohli - who had led India Under-19s to the junior World Cup in 2008 - be added to India’s ODI squad for the tour of Sri Lanka that year was what forced Srinivasan to end his tenure as chief selector.

According to Vengsarkar, when the selection committee met to pick the Test and ODI squads for the Sri Lanka tour, he was very keen to hand Kohli a debut in the ODIs but that then captain MS Dhoni and coach Gary Kirsten were not convinced.

"I felt this was an ideal situation to include Kohli in the squad. Although the other four selectors agreed with my decision, Gary Kirsten and MS Dhoni were reluctant as they had not seen much of Kohli."

"I told them that I have seen him and we have to include him in the team,” said Vengsarkar.
