“Don’t visit Casinos”: BCCI’s message to Indian cricketers in Australia
After suffering serious blows to their credibility after the IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, currently under the scanner after the Lodha committee report, has decided to bar the touring Indian cricketers from visiting casinos.
The decision to impose the ban was taken by BCCI president Shashank Manohar and secretary Anurag Thakur with the team staying at a five-star hotel in Melbourne, which has one of the famous casinos in Australia.
According to a report in the Indian Express, BCCI took the decision as it did not want to take the risk of cricketers meeting the “wrong people” or being seen at the “wrong place” in these casinos. The board’s decision also comes on the back of the recent controversy involving Indian-origin South African cricketer Gulam Bodi allegedly attempting to fix the T20 matches in South Africa T20 league.
