BCCI steers clear of controversy
Mumbai: The BCCI declared on Wednesday that it had nothing to do with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh remaining absent at the Padma Shri awards function held in New Delhi on April 14.
“It’s a personal matter of the cricketers. We don’t want to enter into this controversy,” said Shashank Manohar, president, BCCI.
“We recommend players, but the government doesn’t give it to the players we recommend. We did not recommend Harbhajan Singh for the Padma Shri award. Now we have recommended the names of Gautam Gambhir and Jhulan Goswami,” added Mr. Manohar.
The BCCI has also recommended Rahul Dravid for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award. — Special Correspondent
