No mobile phones in dressing room: Chauhan

May 26, 2001

The Indian cricket team which arrived in Harare on Friday for their tour of Zimbabwe, is taking measures to ensure no finger is pointed at them with regard to betting and match-fixing and it's members will not be allowed to use mobile phones in the dressing room.

Team manager Chetan Chauhan said among a number of other things use of "mobile phones within the dressing room will not be allowed".

The Indian response couldn't have been more timely since the Condon report has stated that the Indian sub-continent is the "engine-room that had powered and driven cricket corruption".

"There is no need to have a curfew on the boys as such since they are well-behaved and understand their role vis-a-vis the Board and the nation," Chauhan told PTI aboard South African Airways flight on the way to Harare.

Skipper Sourav Ganguly was confident his boys were aware of what was expected of them.

"I don't really need to tell them what is expected of them. They are very well-behaved and know exactly what is expected of them," said the stylish left-hander.

Ganguly hinted the Indian Cricket Board would be helped a great deal if there was a clear sense of direction from the game's highest ruling body, the ICC.
