Niranjan Shah Quotations

When allegations of such a serious nature have been made, they need to be probed. If nothing comes out, then that will be the end of it. We are only trying to find out the truth.

We are struggling to give three suitable venues to the ICC for the tournament.

The normal practice is to select a 15-member squad. If the selectors decide to have an additional member, then the approval of the BCCI is needed.

There are certain guidelines that over a period of 10 years you must play each other on a home and away basis. That is it. How many you play extra is up to countries to decide among themselves.

We will continue to oppose the Champions Trophy.

The squad, which comprises an extra player as against the conventional 15, was announced only for the three-match Test series beginning Jan 14 in Lahore.

I will talk to the board president and then issue guidelines to Chappell.

We are very clear that we will not participate in the Twenty20 championship and no one can force us to play. We have also sought support from Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

We have been requesting for details of accounting transactions but have not got satisfactory answers.

The selectors decided this at a meeting on Friday night.
