I have nothing to say on punishments. On the players seeking legal redress, Madhavan said ’It is left to them’.
Condon and five other officers of the ICC and Madhavan are to hold discussions with Board president A C Muthiah on Sunday at an undisclosed venue.
Madhavan said ’We are meeting Muthiah for sure this evening. But I don’t know the place.’ (Press Trust of India)
