The Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai yesterday defended the BCCI's anti-corruption unit
The Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai yesterday defended the BCCI's anti-corruption unit, saying a three-member team can't be everywhere, after the board suspended MCA curator Pandurang Salgaoncar for allegedly claiming that he could tamper with the pitch ahead of the India-New Zealand ODI. "There were irregularities on all fronts, so a full scale inquiry has been ordered. ACU (headed by former cop Neeraj Kumar) has only three people so they can't be everywhere," said Rai.

In the BCCI statement, Rai added: "We are looking into the issue and are in contact with the concerned officials. We have asked for a detailed report and will act upon it accordingly." Acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said swift measures were taken. "We have acted swiftly and ensured that there are no loopholes left ahead of the 2nd ODI," said Choudhary. BCCI CEO Rahul Johri too echoed similar views. "The BCCI is in touch with the MCA and appropriate measures will be taken."
