Former cricket board president I S Bindra and off-spinner Nikhil Chopra have been asked to appear before the disciplinary committee in Chennai on Thursday to clear themselves of different charges against them. The Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) issued a show cause notice last August to Bindra following his `outbursts` against the working of the board, seeking to take action for having brought disrepute to BCCI and the game of cricket, while Chopra has been called by the committee in connection with the reports of CBI and an internal inquiry in the match-fixing scandal. BCCI president A C Muthiah told PTI in Chennai on Wednesday that the committee`s findings would be placed before a general body meeting of the board for a decision.
On action against Chopra, Muthiah said, “The committee will go into the merit of the case and take into consideration the report submitted by K Madhavan, BCCI`s investigating officer, before deciding on the punishment to the player.
