CA satisfied with BCCI146;s role

BCCI president Sharad Pawar later issued a joint statement along with his CA counterpart Creagh O8217;Connor and Sutherland seemed satisfied with that. 8220;I don8217;t think it has got to that stage or even gets to that stage of boycotting,8221; Sutherland was quoted as saying by The Sporting Life here.

8220;There is an ICC anti-racism policy in place. The ICC and the BCCI, the host of these matches, will no doubt deal with these issues going forward. It is really pleasing to see overnight the announcements by the Indian board president to condemn racism in cricket,8221; he said. The top CA official was upset that after Vadodara and Nagpur, Symonds was subjected to monkey chants in Mumbai as well but he patted the BCCI for taking action against the offenders. 8220;Whilst the incident in the last game in Mumbai was disappointing, it is pleasing to see the officials at the ground are taking the response to evict those people from the ground and take the appropriate action,8221; the official said.

The BCCI has already entrusted chief administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty to look after crowd behaviour in tomorrow8217;s Twenty20 match against Australia and police personnel would be deployed tomorrow to prevent a repeat of the episode.
