News Delhi : Rahul Dravid wears many hats following his retirement from international cricket. He is associated with the Indian under-19 team, the Delhi Daredevils IPL franchise and is also a part of BCCI’s cricket committee which has the responsibility of selecting the next Indian coach. After being accused of having a conflict of interest by former member of CoA Ramachandra Guha, Dravid has given a clarification. Speaking to Cricinfo.com, Dravid said, “I have written to the CoA explaining my position and explaining the background against which this perceived conflict of interest has happened.” He further said, “By the BCCI’s conflict of interest rules, I was absolutely not under a conflict of interest. If the rules have changed midway through the contract, then I think it is unfair to criticise me for breaking the rules or twisting the rules to suit my convenience.”
Dravid also added, “My simple point is that, not only me but there are five or six of us who are in the same position. There needs to be clarity. If there is clarity, we will be in a position to take an informed decision. It is disappointing the way this got played out in the public without much understanding of the background.”
