Morarka flays BCCI action against players

Board of Control for Cricket in India vice-president Kamal Morarka on Thursday lashed out at the action against those found guilty of match-fixing, saying the whole procedure was "hasty" and "jerky".

"There was undue haste in hanging the players," Morarka, who skipped the disciplinary committee meeting in Madras on Tuesday, said.

He, however, reserved his comments on the quantum of punishment meted out the players.

"They (the BCCI) should have weighed the pros and cons before announcing their decision. However, their decision is like a judgement of the court and unless I read this judgement I can not comment on it," Morarka, who is also the vice-president of Rajasthan Cricket Board, said.

Morarka, who had recently remarked that there is "more corruption in the CBI than anywhere else", said he was not aware what procedure the BCCI adopted before arriving the decision to ban and suspend the players.

To a question, he replied he is not aware of any BCCI meeting in the near future.
