Tamil Nadu Cricketer Fined ₹1 Lakh By BCCI ACSU For Mobile Phone Protocol Breach During TNPL Match | X
New Delhi, Aug 14: A young Tamil Nadu batter has been fined Rs 1 lakh by the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) of BCCI for violating Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA) protocol during a recent Tamil Nadu Premier League game. Player fined for protocol breach”The TNCA will not name the player as investigation is ongoing. All I can confirm is he is a left hander who scored two fifties for Tamil Nadu in last year’s Ranji Trophy. He was found texting his girlfriend during the course of a match. While no corruption charges has been levelled, using mobile phone in PMOA during course of a match is prohibited. Hence it’s a protocol breach,” a senior TNCA official told PTI on Friday.
Initially, a much harsher punishment was in store for the 26-year-old as TNCA was mulling a two-year ban, but since the offence isn’t of grave nature, he was let off with Rs 1 lakh fine.
