BCCI may ask Wriddhiman Saha to explain breach of contract clause with comments on Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid
India Today
BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal said that the board may ask Wriddhiman Saha about the comments he made about his private conversation with Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly after he was axed from the Test squad for the Sri Lanka Test series.
The BCCI might seek an explanation from veteran keeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha about his recent outburst targetting Board President Sourav Ganguly and head coach Rahul Dravid after being dropped from the Indian team as it feels he violated the protocols for centrally-contracted cricketers.
It is learnt that Saha, who is group B of central contracts with an annual retainership of Rs 3 crore, is in violation of clause 6.3.
"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...," the clause states.
The specific comments that Saha made across media is on his selection and his private conversations with Dravid, chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma and 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 told PTI on Thursday.
The 37-year-old, whose international career has all but ended after he was told by the team management that the focus is now on grooming a younger keeper, has since also made public allegedly "threatening" WhatsApp messages from a journalist without taking names.
