Mumbai-based former India captain Nari Contractor, 89, has written to Roger Binny, the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) about him not being given his usual passes for matches in Mumbai.

According to the letter, (a copy of which is with mid-day), Contractor hasn’t been sent his passes for the ongoing World Cup matches. The letter states that a copy of it has been emailed to the Mumbai Cricket Association president. When mid-day contacted MCA chief Amol Kale, he remarked: “I don’t know about it. I need to check. I will check and make the appropriate decision.”
