"If the BCCI has to investigate the matter, that is up to them. And we will provide all the assistance," the member said, adding a mail in this regard was sent to the Board. The ad-hoc committee comprises CEO C S Naik, Prof Dr Unmesh Khanwilkar, Navin Shetty, Ganesh Iyer and Shahalam Shaikh. Earlier in the day, a senior MCA official had told PTI that BCCI had sought information on the case. It was also understood that a member of the BCCI Anti Corruption Unit met a top MCA official in this regard. According to a media report, a Mumbai player who has played Ranji Trophy, was approached by a rival team's owner to under-perform in the Mumbai T20 League semifinals.
The league, approved by the BCCI and conducted by the MCA, was held from May 14 to May 26. The official, however, had maintained that the MCA has got nothing in writing from any of the players or the franchisees and when it does, the information will be passed on to the BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU). BCCI's ACU chief Ajit Singh has already said that he would investigate the case once MCA provides all the details. The matter could come up for discussion at the Committee of Administrators meeting here on Friday.
