Kolkata, Jan 10: Indian cricket board president Jagmohan Dalmiya today reserved comment on the signing of the World Cup contract by Indian cricketers, saying he would speak only after ascertaining all the facts.
"I will not say anything today, first let me ascertain all the facts," Dalmiya told a news agency when approached for comment on the report that all 15 members of India's World Cup squad signed the player terms in New Zealand. When asked whether the players signed the forms on instruction from the BCCI, Dalmiya said, "I will answer all your queries tomorrow".
Dalmiya had been negotiating with the International Cricket Council to extract concessions in the terms before the matter hit a dead end.
He resigned from the ICC World Cup contract committee on December 30 with the Idian board deciding to go for compulsory non-binding mediation in South Africa on the issue as per the playing nations agreement.
