Former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has announced his retirement from the BCCI commentary panel, citing a lack of professional respect and opportunities. In a series of social media posts on Friday, 20 March 2026, the 60-year-old expressed frustration at being sidelined for major broadcast duties for over two decades. Sivaramakrishnan alleged he was consistently ignored for toss and presentation roles during his 23-year tenure. He stated he could no longer sacrifice self-respect to secure prominent positions, suggesting a culture of favouritism within the board's broadcasting structure. Ravi Ashwin Reacts to Laxman Sivaramakrishnan's 'I Am Retiring from Commentary for BCCI' Post.
