In these collection of pictures, we find out all about the decision taken by the BCCI with regards to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after his massive fight against Sri Lanka A team on Monday.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is turning out for India A in tri-series in Sri Lanka. He has scored 117 runs in 4 matches at an average of 153.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was involved in a huge fight with Sri Lanka A team after the 4th match of tri-series in Dambulla on Monday. Vishen Halambage and Lankan cricketers reportedly told Sooryavanshi, 'Go home, this is not IPL'.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was recommended for 50 per cent match fee fine by match-referee after his brawl with Sri Lanka A cricketers.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia says no action will be taken against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. "The BCCI is not an authority, we should not intrude into the area where the match referee and the umpires are the main persons who can take any decision regarding any incident that had happened in the playground. Whatever had happened, it was a part of the game, and the BCCI have no role to play. The role is of the match referee. If anything is going wrong, he will take a call, the umpires will take a call, and there is a system in place," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI news agency.
On 'A' team tours, respective boards have to take action against cricketers. Sri Lanka Cricket have fined Vishen Halambage and Niroshan Dickwella 50 per cent and 30 per cent of the match fees as recommended by match referee.
BCCI is supporting Vaibhav Sooryavanshi by sending his parents to Ireland and England for T20I series. "You see, not all national teams at the senior level have a 14 or 15-year-old in their squad. After many decades, we have someone like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi," Saikia told PTI. "Therefore, to make him comfortable and help him get used to an adult environment, where all the other players are above 18 years of age, and the team management members are also adults, we felt it would be helpful."
