Mohammed Shami's cricket future in BCCI decision

New Delhi, Mar 17: The Cricketer Mohammed Shami's cricket future, including the IPL, will depend on the findings of the BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU). The decision has been taken during the IPL Governing Council meeting on Friday.

The board has entrusted its anti-corruption chief Neeraj Kumar to investigate the allegations of corruption made by Shami's wife and file a report in a week. "Regarding Shami, we will wait for the report of the ACU and then the BCCI will think about the future line of action. We will proceed as per the directions of the CoA," a cricket board official told The Indian Express, adding, this is with regard to both Shami's future in international cricket and the IPL.

Hasin Jahan, Shami's wife, who has already filed a case of domestic abuse, attempt to murder, against Shami, has alleged that Shami "took money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba at the insistence of an England-based businessman Mohammad Bhai".

"As per the recorded phone conversation, he (Shami) talks about taking money from some extraneous sources, from one Mohammed Bhai. Now, the handbook for players specifically says that if they receive money from some extraneous sources, they are required to inform the BCCI. We are asking him, what's the money for? The ACU will look into this. Rest we will follow the police inquiry," the Committee of Administrators head Vinod Rai told this paper a couple of days ago.
