The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) press release to inform the media about Mumbai Ranji Trophy player Hiken Shah’s suspension was meant to project transparency in the matter, but the rulers of the game did not provide the complete story.

For example, there were no details as to what Shah’s so-called "corrupt approach" was to one of his colleagues from first-class cricket, who is also a member of one of the IPL teams."
