MUMBAI:
The Executive Board of the Indian Cricket League (ICL) has
suspended Chris Cairns and Dinesh Mongia.
Andrew
Hall has now been appointed the Captain of the Chandigarh
Lions.
Cairns
is believed to have been suspended as he was carrying an ankle
injury which he did not inform tournament officials about.
Mongia is said to have known of the injury, but also kept
silent.
Meanwhile
the ICL Executive Board also relieved Mumbai Champs Coach
Sandeep Patil of his coaching duties. Patil had requested
the Executive Board to relieve him for the current season
as he needed a break.
Patil
says, "In the interest of the team, I had requested the
board to relieve me from the current season duties , which
they have accepted." Mumbai Champs have had a below par
performance in Season 2.
Nathan Astle continues to be current season captain. ICL says
that it has high quality of cricket deliverables which is
a mandate for all teams. The high performance director has
emphasised during the ICL Camps that striving for better cricket
is compulsory at all times.
