CHENNAI, India, (Reuters) – India’s cricket board would continue seeking an amendment to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s whereabouts clause despite its own government backing the rule, president Shashank Manohar told local media yesterday.
The influential Indian cricket board last month backed its players’ refusal to sign up, citing security and privacy issues to oppose the clause requiring them to nominate a time for every day of the year when they will be available for testing.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will discuss the Indian board’s request at a special meeting in Johannesburg next month.
“The BCCI’s (Board of Control for Cricket in India) stand on the WADA issue is the same as it was,” Manohar told the Indian Express.
