Jagmohan Dalmiya Quotations

We waited here in the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) premises from morning as per the directives of the court. Then we got verbal intimation that they are not arriving.

We feel the Board should have acted against Chappell as per the rule book. And they should not have limited themselves to giving a mere piece of advice to him.

The working committee felt that this is not a freak incident. Such things are happening repeatedly. Such onslaught from the coach makes it difficult for the player to concentrate on the game, more so when the cricketer is fighting to make a comeback.

They are making absolutely baseless allegations in the media and if they have any query they should ask me.

I had some verbal information that they will not be coming. But still I came in compliance with the court order.

I can't reply in detail but have furnished all details to them. There is no truth in the allegations and the present board officials only want to malign me.

Instead of providing any satisfactory explanation or documents, the present BCCI management is providing evasive answers like the bidding process was transparent and the bidders were happy.

Going by the statement of the honorary secretary, we felt the rule book was not properly referred to.

Although there is no truth in their allegations, it seems the present BCCI management has a single point agenda to malign me.
