Ex-India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has retired from commentary for BCCI. "If I haven’t been used for tosses and presentation for 23 years, and newcomers come in to do pitch reports, tosses and presentation even when Ravi Shastri was coaching...what do you think could be the reason?" he posted. He added, "I can't sacrifice my self-respect and suck up...That’s not me."
