Shaken to the core by a BCCI suspension for unruly behaviour during the Corporate Trophy,Indian pacer Praveen Kumar is remorseful and has vowed not to repeat the incident in future.
8220;It was wrong on my part. The episode should not have happened. I regret it now,8221; Praveen told PTI while recalling the incident.
8220;I have learnt how to control my anger. I need to be cautious while expressing my emotions on the field. It happens sometimes when things do not go your way. I have moved on from that incident as it8217;s history for me now. It won8217;t happen again.
8220;I have with me 4-5 Uttar Pradesh teammates who always advice me on what is right or wrong for me. Sudeep Tyagi,Tanmay Shrivastava and Suresh Raina create a homely environment for me and their advice has always helped me a lot,8221; added the 26-year-old,who would be seen in action for Kings XI Punjab during the upcoming IPL.
Praveen had bowled a short-pitched delivery at Income Tax8217;s Ajitesh Argal and when the batsman checked with the umpire to know whether it was a no ball,the Meerut lad started abusing him.
Following the match referee8217;s report,Praveen was indefinitely suspended by the BCCI on February 10 and was issued a show-cause notice by the Board8217;s secretary,Sanjay Jagdale.
Later,the BCCI revoked the suspension after Praveen accepted all the charges and apologised for his inappropriate conduct. The BCCI let him off after severely reprimanding him.
