Jay Shah Reveals President Roger Binny and VVS Laxman Will Speak To Harmanpreet Kaur Following Controversial Conduct

July 28, 2023

The Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah recently stated that BCCI president Roger Binny and National Cricket Academy (NCA) head VVS Laxman will speak to Indian Women’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur on her controversial conduct. Kaur showed her aggressive side as she smashed her stumps and admonished the umpires publicly. Her conduct has led to a two-game suspension.

The Indian Cricket Board didn’t appeal against the two-match ban enforced by the ICC. Apart from the ban, Kaur’s 50% match fee was deducted, and three demerit points were added to her cumulative record.

Jay Shah opens up on the matter

“We will have our President Roger Binny and VVS Laxman speak to her (regarding the outburst). The ICC has already banned her and the time to appeal against the decision has already passed,” said Shah to the reporters after the BCCI meeting with the state association for the ODI World Cup 2023.

It has been noted that as she accumulated four demerit points, Harmanpreet was automatically suspended for the next two limited-overs games which is a standard ruling for such offenses. Having already secured a spot in the quarter-finals, team India will be without the services of Kaur during the knockout matches. However, if India is able to make it to the final, Harmanpreet would be eligible to play.
