Committee of Administrators member Diana Edulji on Friday recommended ‘suspension till further action’ against India players Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul after the BCCI legal team refused to declare their outrage-evoking comments on women a violation of the code of conduct.<\/p>\n
Edulji had initially suggested a two-match suspension for the duo but referred the matter to the legal cell after COA chief Vinod Rai agreed with her and recommended the same.<\/p>\n
“Based on legal opinion and final procedure is laid down to address this issue, will recommend that a communication is sent to concerned players and team immediately,” Edulji wrote in response to recommendations from the Board’s legal firm Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas.<\/p>\n
The firm said the behaviour in question was neither a criticism of any match or against a player or support staff or match official.”In any case the procedure set by the BCCI constitution will have primacy over procedure set out under Code of Conduct,” it said.<\/p>\n
A senior BCCI official seconded Edulji’s view and said that there should be suspension pending inquiry.”It’s not just about Code of Conduct but about bringing the institution to disrepute. Just understand that ICC had given maximum sanction of one Test ban to Steve Smith for ball tampering charges as per its code of conduct,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
