Legends League Cricket to conduct an investigation After S. Sreesanth accuses Gautam Gambhir of calling him a fixer
The Legends League Cricket will conduct an 'internal inquiry' after Sreesanth claimed on Thursday that ex-India teammate Gautam Gambhir called him a 'fixer' during a match and that any evidence of misbehaviour found against the latter will be 'dealt with rigorously'.
The two World Cup-winning players got into a heated argument during an eliminator match between the Indian Capitals and Gujarat Giants. The umpires had to intervene and separate the two players.
On Thursday, Kirmani said in a statement that "Legends League Cricket strives to uphold the spirit of cricket and sportsmanship and will conduct an internal investigation on the violation of the code of conduct. Any misconduct that has occurred both on and off the field, including on social media platforms, will be dealt with strictly.”
The former India wicket-keeping great added, "The code of conduct has clearly stated that necessary action will be taken against players that bring disrepute to the league, the spirit of the game, and the teams that they are representing. We make our stand very clear and continue to work towards sharing the game with millions of cricket lovers across the nation and world.”
