Kanpur, Nov 29: Kanpur Cricket Association has given cricketer Ritesh Yadav 24 hours to appear before its disciplinary committee to reply to the show cause notice served on him in connection with his allegations against two selectors of demanding bribe from him. KCA president Naimuddin Siddiqui told reporters that Yadav had failed to appear before the committee and it had given one last chance to him to submit his reply on the allegations.
Ritesh Yadav had charged Uttar Pradesh selectors Gopal Sharma and Shashi Kant Khandekar with demanding a bribe of Rs 50,000 for selection in Under-17 state team for the Vijay Merchant cricket tournament three years ago.
The cricketer said he brought it to the notice of BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya in a meeting with him in New Delhi.
State Sports Minister R K Chaudhary has already ordered a probe against the selectors.
