The Cricket Board on Thursday dismissed Pakistani media reports claiming that BCCI was obtaining details about the beach party attended by Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma on the night before the Asia Cup final which they eventually lost to Sri Lanka.

BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla said that there was nothing to probe into the matter.

8220;We are not probing anything about the party. There is nothing to probe since the team management did not lodge any complaint about any player,8221; Shukla said.

Earlier, Pakistani newspaper Jang claimed BCCI was getting details about the party attended by the three players at Karachi8217;s famous French beach with a couple of their local friends.

The report, quoting sources, said Yuvraj, Rohit and Raina had gone to the beach with their friends immediately after attending the Asian Cricket Council ACC awards ceremony at the Mohatta Palace the night before the final.

8220;Their friends had arranged a big party for them at the beach which is a hot-spot for those belonging to the upper crest of society. And the three players returned to their hotel early morning from the beach,8221; the report said.

Incidentally, all three failed to score runs in the final. Yuvraj was bowled for a second ball duck by Ajantha Mendis, while Raina 16 and Rohit 3 too fell to the Sri Lankan spinner who took six for 13 to guide Sri Lanka to a thumping 100-run win.
