The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has banned journalist Boria Majumdar for two years after it found him guilty of intimidating Wriddhiman Saha.
A three-member committee, formed for the case had found the journalist guilty of threatening Wriddhiman after the wicket-keeper didn’t respond to a request for an interview.
“We will be informing all state units of the Indian cricket board to not allow him inside stadiums. He won’t be given media accreditation for home matches and we will also be writing to ICC to blacklist him. Players will be asked not to engage with him,” a top BCCI official told Indian Express.
The incident happened after India returned from South Africa in February and Saha shared the screenshot of the whattsapp chat on his Twitter account.
