Chittorgarh: Former India batsman Ashok Malhotra, now president of the Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA), said that he is “finding it very difficult to work in this space” as he feels restricted by the four ICA directors.
The directors, have asked him not to make any public statements without discussing issues internally. But he alleges that they have been leaking correspondence with him to the media.
Sometimes I don’t understand how other boards of directors do things. You cannot keep telling me about the rules and regulations.
Top of that four directors sent me an email, that I cannot go public. The email was leaked in the media, ”
All this matter comes after Malhotra had posted a video, lamenting what he called the BCCI’s lukewarm response to ICA demands. That allegedly didn’t go down well with the four directors —
who, he says, jointly sent an email, asking the president to follow the Companies Act and adhere to the process before making any statement.
“On one side, I’m told ‘you cannot talk to the media’, and then on the other side, you are leaking it to the media. I’m finding it very difficult to work in this space with all of them kind of ganged up.”
