NEW DELHI : Virat Kohli's decision to relinquish the 20-overs captaincy resulted in him being removed as India's one-day skipper as selectors did not want to have two different white-ball captains, India board chief Sourav Ganguly said.

The board, which rarely explains even routine decisions, did not even mention Kohli by name in conveying the leadership change in a single sentence at the bottom of a press release announcing the test squad for the upcoming tour of South Africa. While happy to play under Rohit in the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia next year, Kohli, who remains the test captain, was keen to lead India in the 50-overs showpiece on home soil in 2023.
