MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: The Committee of Administrators (CoA) on Friday sought a written clarification from Kings XI Punjab at the suspended arrest sentence passed to their co-owner Ness Wadia for possession of cannabis in Japan.
It has been learnt that, as of now, the CoA is not going to give up the topic to the IPL's Ethics Committee comprising appearing president CK Khanna, appearing secretary Amitabh Choudhary and treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry.
Industrialist Wadia was once arrested at an airport in Japan's Hokkaido for possession of 25gm of banned substance and sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment, the decision that were suspended for 5 years.
As in keeping with IPL's Code of Ethics, a franchise may obtain sanction if someone comparable with the workforce (player/owner) carry disrepute to the sport.
"The CoA has asked KXIP management to file a written explanation on what all has transpired. Agreed, the incident has got nothing to do with the league directly but Wadia's arrest does create bad optics. Once KXIP file their explanation, the CoA will take a call on what needs to be done next," a senior BCCI functionary aware of Friday's assembly told PTI.
When asked why the topic is not being passed to place of job bearers, the senior functionary stated, "We now have an Ethics Officer in Justice DK Jain. If need be, the matter will be handed over to him and the office bearers can help him if required."
Among different important tendencies, the CoA through amicus curiae PS Narsimha will intimate the Supreme Court that 26 units of BCCI are actually fully Lodha compliant and will grasp their state unit's elections.
"Out of the 36 BCCI units, there are 26 which are fully Lodha compliant and we expect a few more to become fully compliant in the coming days. The report will be submitted to the Supreme Court. The CoA is expected to appeal to the apex court for an election date. As for the units that will be non-compliant, they will be disqualified from voting at the AGM," the reputable stated.
