From MS Dhoni's Contract To Rahul Dravid's Conflict Of Interest Issue - Here's Why Ramachandra Guha Quit The BCCI
He had initially said it was for 'personal reasons'.
Ramachandra Guha out of the blue announced his resignation from the BCCI panel just days before the Champions Trophy.
Many speculated that the decision may have had something to do with the coach selection policy as BCCI looked for a replacement for Anil Kumble. Kumble's contract will end after the Champions Trophy is over. However, Guha said the reasons were personal.

Now, in a letter to the chairman Vinod Rai, Guha has stated why he was not happy. According to a report in the Indian Express, he had issues with several players getting more than their due and felt things were not working the right way as far as the Committee of Administrators (CoA) is concerned.
These are the main points of the letter:
1. CoA's failure to address conflict of interest issue as Delhi Daredevils coach Rahul Dravid is also in charge of the India A and India Junior team
BCCI
2. BCCI contracted commentator Sunil Gavaskar was also head of a player management company
