County side Durham have now said they will speak to head coach James Franklin ‘privately’ over the physical harassment allegations made by Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal against the former New Zealand and Mumbai Indians pacer.
Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has opened a cap of worms after his shocking revelations in a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) podcast. Earlier this year, in a podcast published by RCB, Chahal had recalled an incident from 2011 when his then Mumbai Indians teammates James Franklin and Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds had allegedly tied him up while celebrating their win in the Champions League final that year.
County side Durham have now said they will speak to head coach James Franklin ‘privately’ over the physical harassment allegations made by Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal against the former New Zealand pacer.
“We are aware of recent news reports surrounding an incident in 2011 which name a member of our staff,” Durham said in a statement to ESPNcricinfo website.
“As with any matters involving employees, the club will speak privately with all parties involved to determine the facts.”
Chahal also alleged that the duo had taped his mouth, left him in a room and forgot about him for a whole night. Franklin, who was part of Mumbai Indians squad from 2011 to 2013, was appointed Durham coach in early 2019.
