Dravid says onus on players to keep the game clean
|
|||
Rahul Dravid
has called on cricketers to give up "a little bit of freedom of
movement and privacy" if it helps keep the game free of corruption.
Speaking at the Sir Donald Bradman Oration in Canberra, Dravid said
players should treat the inconveniences of dope tests, the possible
scrutiny of finances, or even lie-detector tests as necessary measures
to keep the sport clean.
"Cricket's financial success means it will face threats from outside the
game and keep facing them. The last two decades have proved this over
and over again," Dravid said. "The internet and modern technology may
just end up being a step ahead of every anti-corruption regulation in
place in the game.
"As players, the one way we can stay ahead for the game is if we are
willing to be monitored and regulated closely. Even if it means giving
up a little bit of freedom of movement and privacy. If it means
undergoing dope tests, let us never say no.
"If it means undergoing lie-detector tests, let us understand the
technology, what purpose it serves and accept it. Lie-detectors are by
no means perfect but they could actually help the innocent clear their
names. Similarly, we should not object to having our finances
scrutinised, if that is what is required."
The radical idea of lie-detector tests
was first mooted by the MCC to strengthen anti-corruption measures. The
proposal was backed by former Australia captain Steve Waugh, who took a lie-detector test himself, and England captain Andrew Strauss also said he would be willing to undergo
such an examination. The Federation of International Cricketers'
Associations (FICA), however, was opposed to the idea and its chief
executive Tim May said lie-detector tests were "far from foolproof".
Dravid, the first foreign player to deliver the Bradman oration, said
that players needed to sacrifice a bit of personal comfort for the good
of the game. His comments came at the end of a year during which three
Pakistan players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir - were
found guilty of spot-fixing during the tour of England in 2010. They
were sentenced to jail terms after a trial at Southwark Crown Court.
"When the first anti-corruption measures were put into place, we did
moan a little bit about being accredited and depositing our cell phones
with the manager. But now we must treat it like we do airport security
because we know it is for our own good and our own security," Dravid
said. "Players should be ready to give up a little personal space and
personal comfort for this game, which has given us so much. If you have
nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

Harbhajan Singh recovers stolen documents
Harbhajan Singh,
the India offspinner, has recovered a part of his valuables which were
stolen from his car on the Punjab-Delhi highway. Haryana Police on
Tuesday found his bag, lying in an abandoned area, which contained his
passport and other documents, including credit cards. However, cash to
the tune of Rs 9500 is still missing.
Harbhajan registered the theft at the local police station, after his parked car was broken into outside a coffee shop.
"It took us only three minutes to go to Cafe Coffee Day and bring coffee
back to our car. But when we reached, we were shocked to find that our
car glass had been cut and our important belongings were not to be
found," Harbhajan told The Indian Express.
He was recently ruled out of Punjab's Ranji Trophy campaign after a
long-standing shin injury in his left leg resurfaced. Harbhajan, who was
leading Punjab, was using the Ranji matches to try and make a comeback
to the Indian team. He had returned home early during the tour of
England because of an abdomen injury and was then left out of the home
series against England and West Indies. Harbhajan was also not selected
in the Test squad for the upcoming tour of Australia.
Kumble quits as NCA chief
|
|||
Anil Kumble,
the former India captain, has resigned as chairman of the National
Cricket Academy (NCA) over what he says was a lack of "alignment"
between his vision for the NCA and the rest of the committee's.
An official statement from the BCCI for the reasons for Kumble's
decision is awaited. He is tipped to be replaced, at least on an interim
basis, by MP Pandove, the chairman of the BCCI's specialised academies
committee and a member of the IPL governing council.
"I had a three-year vision, a holistic approach for the NCA that was
not in alignment with that of the rest of the committee," Kumble told
ESPNcricinfo. "It didn't make sense to me to just be a figurehead in
this kind of a situation. So I thought it was better that somebody else
take over." In his role as chairman, Kumble told PTI, he had made 10 presentations to the committee about his vision for the NCA.
The NCA committee, as listed on website, is made up of 14 members
including Kumble. The other committee members are BCCI president N
Srinivasan, joint secretaries Sanjay Jagdale and Anurag Thakur,
treasurer Ajay Shirke, chief-administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty,
vice-chairman Ranjib Biswal, NCA Board members Anirudh Chaudhry, TC
Mathew, Rakesh Parikh, Bikash Baruah and Gyanendra Pandey, director, NCA
cricket operations Sandeep Patil and administration manager AK Jha.
Kumble is president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA)
and chief mentor of the Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL team. The post
of NCA chairman, an honorary post, was Kumble's first official BCCI
position since being elected KSCA president last year. He denied that
his decision to quit a day after an NCA meeting in Chennai was due to
arguments in Monday's BCCI working committee meeting over apparent
conflict of interest issues concerning him. Board rules require that any
resignation must be tabled before a working committee.
Two months ago, controversy arose
over Kumble's co-ownership of a talent management firm called Tenvic
that has on its books several young players including R Vinay Kumar and S
Aravind, both of whom have been part of recent India squads and also
play for the Royal Challengers. Tenvic - named after Kumble's ten-wicket
haul against Pakistan in 1999 - looks after the commercial interests of
the players but Kumble has consistently denied any conflict of interest between his administrative and mentoring roles.
He said at the time that "less than 2%" of Tenvic's business was related
to "mentoring cricketers", and that too without any commercial benefit
