A BCCI legit instructed PTI that Llong would possibly have some explaining to do but the matter won't value him his position as a designated umpire for the IPL final to be held in Hyderabad.

The BCCI, it is learnt, is in a predicament on whether or not to even imagine taking this kind of step "for a moment's indiscretion".

"We have reported the matter to the Committee of Administrators (COA) and hopefully action will be taken against Nigel Llong. If the players are punished for their misdemeanour and fined their match fees then why not the umpires," he stated.


"I didn't speak to umpire Llong but I spoke to match referee Narayanan Kutty. I am hopeful COA will take action," he added.


Llong paid Rs 5000 after he used to be confronted by means of the KSCA officials and had demanded a receipt of the fee.


Llong has stood in 56 Tests, 123 ODIs and 32 T20 Internationals in his profession and will be standing within the upcoming World Cup within the United Kingdom, starting May 30.
