Following the inadvertent error, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is prepared to rectify the situation after Chetan Sakariya‘s name emerged among seven players flagged for a potentially suspect bowling action. The cricket board is committed to addressing this matter appropriately and ensuring fair play and adherence to regulations in the upcoming course of action.
Wrong Chetan named in the suspect list
Not Sakaria, but a player from the south zone with a similar name, Chetan, was supposed to b🎃e named in the suspect li🌞st.
Including Chetan, the other six players reported for suspect bowling action are Tanush Kotian of the Mumbai Cricket Association, Rohan Kunnummal of the Kerala Cricket Association, Chirag Gandhi of the Gujarat Cricket Association, Salman Nizar of the Kerala Cricket Association, Saurabh Dubey of the Vidarbha Cricket Association and Arpit Guleria of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association
“It was a sort of miscommunication and error, and Chetan has never been called, and he is not on that list. I understand that the name of a Karnataka bowler should have been there, and the IPL is addressing the issue. The franchises are also being duly informed,” Jaydev Shah, the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Pres♛ident, was quoted as saying to Cric🐭buzz.
