Young lady in CSK player’s room, Preity Zinta’s yacht party: BCCI’s anti-graft unit warned IPL teams....

An email sent by BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Security Unit lists ‘violations’ by IPL franchises and players.
A party hosted by Preity Zinta for KXIP on a yacht owned by individuals on the ICC’s anti-corruption scanner, a woman who spent the night in the room of a CSK player, a dinner hosted for KKR by Shah Rukh Khan’s friend without permission.

These are just some of the several cases of protocol violations by IPL franchises and players spotted by the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Security Unit (ACSU) last summer, barely a year after the league was rocked by the spot-fixing scandal.

Consider these excerpts from the email:

A young lady who was not related to a CSK player visited his room in ITC Grand Maurya in Mumbai. She entered the room of the player at 2150 hrs and left at 0605 hrs the next day. When questioned, the player described her as a good friend.

Another young lady entered the room of another CSK player at 2210 hrs and left the next morning at 0730 hrs. When questioned, the player stated that she was a very close friend and that he was likely to marry her. Through inquiries by the ACU, it came to light that in the past the same lady has been in touch with the player Sreesanth and a few other senior players of different IPL teams. She has often been seen in the stadiums cheering for RCB and had a green accreditation card during IPL 2013.

Shah Rukh Khan’s friend and business partner hosted a dinner for the entire KKR Team where other friends and relatives of the host and SRK were also present.

Preity Zinta hosted a party for the entire squad of KXIP, aboard a yacht anchored 2 km off the Mumbai coast. The yacht was provided gratis by its owner, reportedly friends of Zinta. No outside guests were present other than one personal lady friend of Zinta. What is a matter of concern is that the owners are being investigated by the ICC ACSU for their contacts with players and betting on cricket.

When contacted, a KXIP spokesperson said that the “BCCI was satisfied” with the action taken by the franchise on the incidents mentioned while a Delhi Daredevils spokesperson said they work with all agencies to ensure they follow all procedures
