Media gag on players to continue
January 15, 2006 15:45 IST
The gag on Indian cricketers from giving exclusive interviews and writing newspaper columns during their tour of Pakistan would come up for discussion at BCCI's Working Committtee meeting in New Delhi on January 23.
Board President Sharad Pawar [Images], when approached on the issue by some TV channels who have signed up cricketers, told them that the players had signed a contract, which barred them from airing their comments or writing columns in newspapers.
Pawar also told the TV channels' representatives that the matter would be discussed during the Working Committee meeting in Delhi.
Meanwhile, Virender Sehwag [Images] would be reminded of the contract by the tour management following his column that appeared in a national newspaper back home.
"He would be reminded about the clause of the contract he has signed with the BCCI. No player can write or talk exclusively to the media," Indian team's media manager GS Walia said on Sunday.
