BCCI initiates inquiry into leak of report Thursday, February 08, 2007 03:40 [IST]
New Delhi:The Cricket Board
today initiated an inquiry into the leak of Indian team manager Chetan Desai's
confidential South Africa
tour report, saying it was a 'serious issue.' BCCI said President Sharad Pawar
received Desai's report today which would be "studied and analysed"
before any action is taken.
"The President received the report today. We are now trying to find out
how it was leaked to the media before it reached the President's office,"
BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla told sources.
Shukla said Pawar has decided to convene a meeting of office-bearers to study
Desai's report and also the reports of previous tour managers.
"We will go through the contents of all these reports and if any
corrective measure needs to be taken, it will be done," he said.
"We cannot definitely ignore the contents of these reports," he
added.
Desai's critical report in which he questioned Virender Sehwag's attitude
towards the game and captain Rahul Dravid's stubbornness in team selection
created a flutter in cricket circles.
The report also claimed that Sehwag and coach Greg Chappell were involved in a
feud during the Durban Test.
Captain Rahul Dravid, however, dismissed Desai as a person who had no standing
in the game and had refused to comment
