Soon after reports of controversial Indian cricket team’s dressing room talks were leaked to former BCCI president Anurag Thakur, the Apex court-appointed Committee of Administrators sacked the board media manager on Monday.
The decision was taken on February 1st that all the officials appointed by Thakur and ex-secretary Ajay Shirke would be dismissed from their respective duties. According to DNA reports, two Indian team members blamed Nishant Jeet Arora and Thakur for trying to create a rift between player, concerning the dressing room info.
“Is he (media manager) there to make things easy for us or to irritate us?” the report quoted a senior team member as saying. “There is so much of mistrust between players about who is leaking our personal conversation to the outside world.”
“Media manager’s job is to deal with the media but this guy (Arora) is all over the place… inside dressing room, during team celebrations, in team discussions regarding playing eleven etc,” said a player.
