Hardik Pandya has been suspended pending inquiry for his objectionable comments on women in Karan Johar's chat show Koffee with Karan.
Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have been suspended pending an inquiry for their sexist comments on a TV chat show.
The top court said it will hear the matter next week after senior advocate P S Narasimha, the new amicus curiae is available to assist it in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) case.
A source in the BCCI has said the two will be issued fresh show cause notices before a formal enquiry begins and the duo will also miss the first ODI against Australia in Sydney.
In his response to the notice, Pandya said he did not realise that his comments would be found offensive.
Koffee with Karan fallout: Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul made certain comments on celebrity talk show 'Koffee with Karan' that have triggered a massive outrage.
Cheteshwar Pujara currently belongs in the Grade A category, which comes with a pay cheque of Rs five crore.
In a letter written to Rai, COA member Edulji accused the chairman and BCCI CEO Rahul Johri of breaking rules while appointing Ravi Shastri as the men's team coach in July last year.
In a letter to Rai, COA member Edulji said Powar should be given an extension at least till the New Zealand tour.
Ramesh Powar questioned Mithali Raj's attitude and said that she plays for individual milestones and not for the team.
It is expected that Johri and Karim will present a detailed report to the CoA which will then assess and, if required, speak to the individuals concerned.
Mithali's omission from the playing eleven against England triggered a controversy and it was intensified after their dreams of winning a maiden ICC title was shattered.
CoA chief Vinod Rai was unhappy that players' agents are making unsavoury comments about team selection.
A Mumbai based tabloid had claimed that the CoA had told Virat Kohli " to conduct himself with humility on the tour of Australia".
One of the senior members attending the meeting told the Kohli-Shastri duo that there is nothing wrong if BCCI wants them to perform well overseas.
Gambhir vented his frustration on Twitter after seeing the former signal the start of the match at Kolkata Knight Riders' home ground.
The CoA, comprising Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji, also sought to bring all the matches played under the aegis of the BCCI to be brought within the jurisdiction of Anti-Corruption Unit of the cricket board.
Once appointed, Ombudsman will deal with grievances raised by members of BCCI and the IPL teams besides addressing acts of "indiscipline, misconduct, breach, etc".
Recently, the COA held a review meeting in Hyderabad where the skipper requested some demands related to the Wives and Girlfriends (WAGs), reserved rail coach and about the addition of a fruit in their diet.
Earlier, it was learnt through reports that Virat Kohli had requested the BCCI to allow their wives and girlfriends to accompany them for the entire tour rather than the two weeks.
