BCCI boss Anurag Thakur on Tuesday slammed former selection committee chief Sandeep Patil, saying it was "unethical" on his part to reveal certain confidential details about Sachin Tendulkar, M S Dhoni and others after his tenure ended earlier this month. Thakur stopped short of saying that action will be taken against Patil but said "right people in the BCCI" will speak to him soon over the issue which has created a major controversy. With Patil and other four selectors' term ending, the BCCI decided to invite applications for the selectors' job to ensure transparency. "First time ever, the BCCI openly invited people to apply for the selectors' job... We can only appoint those who have applied," he said. About the five-member panel, he said most of the applicants wanted it against the three recommended by the Lodha Committee.
