Ex-india goalkeeper Prasanta Dora dies Racial abuse: CA sends report to ICC

KOLKATA: Former India goalkeeper Prasanta Dora, who made a name for himself while playing for big three clubs of Kolkata Maidan, died on Tuesday.

SYDNEY: Cricket Australia has told the ICC that it was unable to identify spectators who racially abused Indian players during the Sydney Test and the six who were ejected from the stands were not the real culprits, a media report stated. ‘The Age’ reported CA investigators “have cleared the six men ejected during the Sydney Test of racially abusing Mohammed Siraj.” CA has sent the findings to the ICC after a probe.
