Kolkata, July 3: Former India cricketer Arun Lal on Saturday (July 2) chose to term the ongoing spat between former national team director Ravi Shastri and ex-captain Sourav Ganguly as "disappointing."

Shastri had lashed out at Ganguly a few days back after he was overlooked for the Indian team chief coach's job.

Leg-spin legend Anil Kumble was selected by the three-member Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) cricket advisory panel which consists of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Ganguly.

"Nothing surprises me in Indian cricket anymore. A member of the committee (Ganguly) wasnt present and that was disrespectful to the selection process," Shastri had told media.
