BCCI top brass has discussed the plan with Pandya and the Gujarat Titans captain has sought some time to respond, stated a report in indiatoday.in.

“A decisive call will only be taken after consultation with the new senior selection committee after it is formed. The BCCI has this plan and has discussed it with him.

The all-rounder has asked for some days to respond. Let’s see what he thinks of it. No decision has been taken regards with this but yes the officials (BCCI) are in the thought process to give him the captaincy of white-ball cricket. Let’s see how things go further,” it said.
