New Delhi: The Indian selectors have named the 15-member squad for the upcoming World Cup. While both all-rounder Hardik Pandya and opener K L Rahul are part of the squad, they are yet to get clearance from BCCI ombudsman D K Jain for making inappropriate comments in a television chat show.
The duo had appeared before Jain separately. While Pandya met him on April 9, Rahul met him in Mumbai on April 10. The World Cup squad was announced on April 15.
Speaking to IANS, one of the three members of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) said, “We were hoping to get a report from the ombudsman, but haven’t received anything as yet. The team for the World Cup has been picked and the fate of the players still hangs in balance.
Repeated attempts to get in touch with Jain failed as he didn’t respond to calls or messages. (IANS)
