Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to ask veteran wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha, about his outburst after being dropped from the national Test side. He has been found violating the protocols to be followed by a centrally contracted cricketer.
The annual central contracts signed by the players (Saha is in Group B with annual retainership of Rs 3 crore) has a clause 6.3, which he has apparently violated.
Clause 6.3 of players’ central contract states: “Player shall not make any comments about the game, officials, incidents that happened in the game, use of technology, selection matters or any other matter related to the game which is in opinion of the BCCI is adverse to and /or not in the interest of the game, team or BCCI in any media….”
It may be recalled that Saha made specific comments across media on his selection and his private communications with head coach Rahul Dravid, chief selector Chetan Sharma and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly.
“Yes, there is a possibility that BCCI could ask Wriddhiman as to how he spoke on selection matters being a centrally contracted cricketer,” BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
“As far as the president is concerned, he had tried to motivate him. The board might like to know what made him go public with his dressing room conversations with coach Dravid. We haven’t yet decided on the matter. We are all busy but a call will be taken on a few days,” he said.
