"Chetan has tendered his resignation to BCCI secretary Jay Shah and his resignation has been accepted. His position had become untenable after the sting operation. He resigned voluntarily and wasn't asked to resign," a senior BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity on Friday.
Chetan Sharma had engaged in ‘loose talk’ in the sting video made public by a TV channel earlier this week. While the Indian cricket board was still trying to get to bottom of the matter and understand what was said, Chetan had already made up his mind to put in his papers.
Chetan's new team, though, would have entirely new faces with junior chairman of selectors S Sharath of South Zone being promoted.
During Chetan's tenure, India had also failed to reach the knock-out stage in the 2021 edition of the T20 World Cup and lost the World Test Championships final.
