Disciplinary committee meeting shifted to Delhi

The Board of Control for Cricket in India disciplinary committee meeting, to discuss the Madhavan report on match-fixing and betting, will be held in Delhi on Tuesday as per the request of the players named in the Central Bureau of Investigation report.

The meeting was originally scheduled to be held in Delhi on Monday, but was shifted to Calcutta just ahead of the special general body meeting there the next day, and the five players named in CBI report on match-fixing were called to appear before it following the inquiry by the BCCI's anti-corruption commissioner K Madhavan.

However, the meeting has now been shifted back to Delhi after the request of the players, BCCI vice-president C K Khanna, a member of the committee, informed after receiving an intimation to the effect from the office of the board president.

The committee, after hearing the five players -- Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajay Jadeja, Nayan Mongia, Manoj Prabhakar and Ajay Sharma -- will finalise its report and present it to the general body.

Meanwhile, Khanna has requested the board president A C Muthiah, also the chairman of the disciplinary committee, to drop him from the panel as one of its original members, Kamal Morarka, is back from his foreign trip.

South Zone vice-president Ram Prasad is the third member of the disciplinary committee.
