Hyderabad Cricket Association president A. Jagan Mohan Rao has asked Hyderabad senior women’s coach Vidyuth Jaisimha to refrain from cricketing activities in the HCA till the investigation is completed into allegations that the coach was carrying and consuming alcohol and created scenes in the team bus.
In a letter addressed to Mr. Vidyuth, the HCA chief said that they got an anonymous e-mail and that videos relating to the incident were doing the rounds on social media platforms. “This is a matter of serious concern... I have asked for a thorough investigation to be done in this matter, and a decision will be made based on the outcome of the investigation,” Mr. Jagan Mohan said.
“We will not hesitate to initiate criminal proceedings also once we get the investigation report. And also impose life ban on [Mr.] Vidyuth if the situation merits such action,” he said.
