The BCCI office-bearers did not miss out on the opportunity to lash out at BCCI CEO Rahul Johri after the Indian cricket board found itself embroiled in another controversy following crass comments from Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul on a TV show recently. BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary and treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry trained their guns on Johri in their emails to the Committee of Administrators (CoA) yesterday.

Johri was given a contentious clean chit by the three-member independent inquiry committee last November after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced against him. The BCCI treasurer suggested that Pandya, Rahul as well as Johri should undergo a proper sensitisation— "...must be allowed to join the team [if selected] only once they have gone through a proper sensitisation in addition to serving a ban, if imposed upon them. In any case, the entire team and support staff must go through a sensitisation process. The CEO may join them in the sensitisation as well as recommended by Veena Gowda, Advocate," Chaudhry wrote.
