Life ban for Dedha, DDCA selectors to get security cover

NEWDELHI: The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) banned Anuj Dedha for life from all cricket linked to the association. Dedha and his associates had attacked chairman of selectors and former India cricketer Amit Bhandari on Monday over his non-selection in the Delhi Under-23 side. The decision to ban him was taken after a meeting between selectors, president Rajat Sharma, CEO, CFO, COO, Gautam Gambhir, team manager Shankar Saini, coach Mithun Manhas and advisor to president, Salil Seth. The DDCA also decided on a slew of measures to curtail indiscipline: 1) In future no one, including parents, will be allowed at the venue of the trials, 2) Local police will be informed if matches are outside (the Kotla) to ensure there is a PCR van, 3) Security for selectors will be beefed up.
