BCCI warns employees from talking to media

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has written to all its staff barring them from talking to the media. Those not complying with the ‘gag order’ will have to face disciplinary action, including suspension, the email stated.

In the order to nearly 100 of its staff working at the Mumbai headquarters and the Bengaluru office at the National Cricket Academy, board secretary Jay



Shah’s office has warned that any employee found to have leaked critical information will have to face termination of their contract.

The email reads, “It has been brought to our notice that some of the BCCI employees are going out in the media and giving interviews. This is against employees’ contract and poses risk of leaking out critical information of the organisation,” Shah’s office wrote.
