Manjrekar Urges ICC and BCCI to Address On-Field Conduct of Indian Players
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has criticized the ICC and BCCI for their lenient response to on-field confrontations involving Indian players Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal was fined 25% of his match fee and given one demerit point after headbutting Sri Lanka pacer Asitha Fernando during the second Test in Colombo. Sooryavanshi faced a similar incident earlier in a tri-series. Manjrekar warned that insufficient punishment could encourage repeated misconduct, affecting the sport and players' futures.
