Rahul Dravid is currently the head of the National Cricket Academy’s (NCA) Cricket Operations and is in the latest lines of the big names of Indian cricket to get a notice from BCCI’s Ethics Officer on specific Conflict of Interest.
DK Jain, the BCCI’s Ombudsman-cum-Ethics Officer Justice (Retd) sent Rahul a notice after he received complaint from Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) lifetime member Sanjeev Gupta. Sanjeev said that Dravid is the NCA Director and at the same time, he is also employed as vice-president of India Cements group.
The India Cements Groups owns the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise team, the Chennai Super Kings.
Dravid has to file his reply by August 16th and he would also need to appear for an in-person hearing if it is considered important by Justice Jain. Sanjeev Gupta had earlier field similar Conflict of Interest complaints against former Indian stars such as Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman, when they donned dual roles as Cricket Advisory Committee member and the icon of their respective IPL franchises.
Well said Dada… We want you as BCCI President.. please consider it.. will revamp our Board!!
