BCCI's reaction to Kambli's allegations shows their double standards - Sarfraz Nawaz
The former Test pacer of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sarfraz-Nawaz-Malik-c88831, has condemned the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s reaction to Vinod Kambli’s recent match-fixing allegations, saying that it has shown the double standards of BCCI.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Clark-c2591 reckons Azharuddin being India’s captain in that World Cup semi-final is enough to make Kambli’s claims probe-worthy, as the former Indian skipper did not have an immaculate cricketing career and is serving a life ban from the game these days.
"Don't forget Kambli is talking about a match where India was captained by a man http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Azharuddin-c76823 who was later banned for life for fixing and yet the Indians are not willing to take the issue seriously. It shows their double standards," said the former
pace bowling great when asked to comment on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vinod-Ganpat-Kambli-c95376’s latest claims.
Sarfraz Nawaz said that both the International Cricket Council and the Board of Control for Cricket in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 were scared that investigations into Kambli’s allegations might open up a new Pandora's box of corruption scandals.
A couple of days back, Vinod Kambli had expressed his suspicions about the 1996 Cricket World Cup semi-final between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, saying that Mohammad  Azharuddin’s decision to bowl first was a surprising one for him and always gives him a feeling
that there was something amiss in the game.
"I will never forget the 1996 match because my career ended after this... I was stunned by India's decision to field first," Kambli had said while taking part in a discussion during a TV programme last week.
The Indian sports minister Ajay Maken, had earlier urged the BCCI to investigate into the match-fixing allegations and take strict action against the culprits. Despite getting a call for probe from Maken, the BCCI vice president, Rajiv Shukla, rubbished
Kambli’s claims and said that board does not find the false allegations worth investigating.
“We are not giving any importance to the claims made by Kambli. If a person wakes up after 15 years and makes some allegations, that is not worth taking note of,” Shukla had said on Saturday.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 President had also termed Kambli’s statement as irresponsible and unwarranted.
