Former India national cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly has slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after its ethics officer issued a Conflict of Interest notice to Rahul Dravid. Ganguly has further been backed by Harbhajan Singh.
BCCI Ethics Officer DK Jain has issued a notice to the former India cricketer. This comes after Sanjay Gupta (Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association member) filed a complaint against him, concerning Conflict of Interest charges. According to the complaint, Dravid is the current NCA head but is also employed as vice-president of India Cements Groups, which owns IPL side Chennai Super Kings. Gupta had also earlier filed interest charges against the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman.
