It's not about me or Ravi, it's about players: Kumble

Bangalore: Team India's newly appointed chief coach Anil Kumble on Wednesday swept aside the controversy surrounding Ravi Shastri's interview during the selection process saying it's the players who are the most significant part of the system and no one else.

Kumble, addressing media on his first day as coach, said neither he nor Shastri or any other official is as important as the players.

"I was the first one to call Ravi after chosen as the head coach. He did a wonderful job with the Indian team. And it's not about Ravi or me or anyone else. It's about the players, it's about the team," Kumble said during his first press conference as Team India coach.

"From my point of view, we all want Indian team to do well, and perform at its best. We all believe that India team has the potential to dominate all three formats. He was part of this journey and (now) I am part of this journey. That's all what I have to say. He congratulated me and I told him we have a fantastic team.

"It could be somebody else tomorrow. I am not permanent here in this role. I have an opportunity to make a difference and I have an opportunity to be part of a journey. I am privileged and honoured to be part of this journey," added Kumble.
