BCCI chief distances himself from 1983 World Cup team's statement on wrestlers' protest

NEW DELHI: BCCI president Roger Binny has distanced himself from the joint statement issued by 1983 World Cup winners expressing their support for the wrestlers protesting against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“Contrary to some media reports, I would like to clarify that I have not issued any statement regarding the current situation of the wrestlers’ protest. I believe that the competent authorities are working on to resolve the issue. As a former cricketer, I believe that sports should not be mixed with politics,” he said.
