The latest name to come under the hammer of Conflict of Interest issue is the former India skipper and the current head coach for the junior cricketers Rahul Dravid. However, the move to send notice irked Sourav Ganguly, who slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India and asked God to save the Indian Cricket.
In between, the former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for sending a Conflict of Interest notice to Rahul Dravid. “God, help Indian cricket,” said Sourav Ganguly. He said it while expressing his displeasure after Rahul Dravid was issued a notice from the BCCI’s ethics officer on conflict of interest allegations against the legend.
Dravid is currently the head of National Cricket Academy’s (NCA) operations in Bangalore. He has got a notice from BCCI’s Ombudsman-cum-Ethics Officer Justice (Retd) D.K. Jain. The official received a complaint from Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) life member Sanjeev Gupta.
