Launching an unexpected scathing attack on Gautam Gambhir, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar on Monday said the India head coach lacks the `right demeanour and words` while interacting with the press and urged the BCCI to keep him away from the media duties.

Manjrekar`s comments came hours after Gambhir addressed the media in a pre-departure press conference ahead of the five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
