“We are waiting for the umpire’s report on the incident and then MCA Secretary Ajinkya Naik will take a decision. It was a pre quarter-final which had to be abandoned, so either the disciplinary committee or our tournament committee will take a decision on how to continue with the tournament as it was a knockout match. We will take a decision before Saturday,” MCA’s Apex Council member and tournament committee coordinator Abhay Hadap told mid-day on Monday.
It is learnt that the hosts’ reserve player Tanmay Buram went on the field with some drinks and directed a comment to outgoing MIG batsman Pragnesh Kanpillewar while Parsee Gym were 53-3 in 4.3 overs, chasing MIG CC’s 200-7 in the T20 game. Buram went on to have an altercation with MIG skipper Ankush Jaiswal, who intervened.
Even some onlookers ran on to the field. The police were called when the situation got out of hand.
Parsee Gymkhana are expected to submit their complaint to MCA today (Tuesday).
