India Cricket Control Board (BCCI) Treasurer Arun Dhumal on Monday denied reports on Monday that Virat Kohli resigned as Indian skipper after the T20 World Cup, saying the board had not discussed anything about it and that he would continue captain of the team in all formats. “This is just garbage. Nothing as such is going to happen. This is all a media creation,” Arun Dhumal told UK Time News. “The BCCI has neither met nor discussed anything on this issue,” he said.
