Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Monday joined Bishan Singh Bedi and Dilip Vengsarkar in opposing the proposal to scrap the coin toss from Test cricket.
Opinion has been divided among former cricketers since a newly-formed committee of the International Cricket Council (ICC), one that includes ex-international cricketers and coaches, elite panel umpires and match-referees, has mooted the idea of doing away with the toss in Test cricket.
“It remains to be seen whether it is implemented or not. Personally, I am not in favour of toss abolition,” Ganguly told.
The committee headed by former India captain Anil Kumble will debate whether or not the toss should be removed in an attempt to reduce home advantage held by the host team. This will be discussed in an ICC meeting in Mumbai later in the month.
