Ban On Hardik, Rahul Lifted With Immediate Effect

IANS, 24 Jan, 2019 09:20 PM

    The Committee of Administrators (CoA) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday lifted the suspensions of Hardik Pandya and Lokesh Rahul with immediate effect, which was imposed for their objectionable comments on a television talk show.


    The two players, who were sent home from the Australia tour, have already missed out on four One-Day Internationals (ODI), three against Australia and the opening match of the five-ODI series against New Zealand.


    "The Committee of Administrators (CoA) had, by emails dated 11.01.2019, and in exercise of Rule 41(6) of the Constitution of BCCI, suspended Hardik Pandya and K.L. Rahul in view of the allegations of misconduct against them, pending adjudication of the allegations under Rule 46 of the approved BCCI Constitution," a BCCI statement said.


    "Since the adjudication of all allegations of misconduct against any cricketer registered with, inter alia, the BCCI is required to be undertaken by the BCCI Ombudsman, whose appointment is pending directions of the Supreme Court of India, the CoA is of the view that the interim suspension orders dated 11.01.2019 should be presently lifted with immediate effect.


    "The above matter and decision has been taken with the concurrence of the Learned Amicus Curiae, P.S. Narasimha. In view of the above, the suspension orders dated 11.01.2019 is immediately lifted pending appointment and adjudication of the allegations by the BCCI Ombudsman," the statement added.


    When contacted by IANS, CoA member Diana Edulji refused to comment on the issue.


    According to sources, the duo will now travel to New Zealand for the remaining matches of the limited overs series.


    With the second ODI against the Kiwis slated for Saturday, it is highly unlikely that the duo will be available for that match.


    But with skipper Virat Kohli being rested for the final two ODIs and the subsequent three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series, all-rounder Hardik and opener Rahul may get a chance.
