As per a report by Indian Express, the BCCI will ask the Indian cricketer to reveal the identity of the journalist. Meanwhile, the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has assured him of a place in the team. Sourav Ganguly has been in the news for attending selection meetings that have ignited the controversy.
