"During a video conference, Sourav Ganguly commented, in a meeting where there were all people present, including all the selectors, presidents of the board, and myself. It is unclear whether or not Virat heard what Ganguly said, but either way, it is a personal matter between him and Ganguly. It is unclear why Virat brought up the topic during a press conference before going to South Africa as captain. The topic was not relevant to the team's discussion, and it is unclear why Virat chose to bring it up. The truth is that there was a conversation happening between six to nine people, during which Ganguly made a comment that conflicted with what Virat was saying. It appears that there was a dispute between the board and the player, but it is a personal matter that remains unresolved."
