'Selection committee has 5 selectors, captain' - MSK Prasad hits back at Ambati Rayudu

Former BCCI Chief MSK Prasad hit back at Ambati Rayudu's 2019 World Cup selection snub allegation.

After Ambati Rayudu revealed in an interview that he and former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad didn't get along well and claimed that the same could be a reason for the middle-order batter not getting the nod for the 2019 ODI World Cup, the latter responded to the allegation in an interview.

"All of us know that the selection committee has got five selectors and the captain sitting in the selection committee. Will any single person’s decision be taken or is it a consensus or is it an entire collective decision that would be taken? If an individual can take a decision then you don’t require five selectors."

"So any decision that is taken only happens with the consensus of the entire selection committee. So it is a collective decision. Not an individual decision. I may propose something but somebody else has to accept it. No individual decision will prevail in a committee", he further added.
