Members united under CAU umbrella to get BCCI affiliation, but now some accuse secretary of overreach. Others say hiring 'high-powered' Wasim Jaffer was a mistake for fledgling team.

Keep religion out of cricket, if a moulvi was invited by any player then ask the player to disinvite him. The shifting of blame to a player is not professional. The coach takes lead not the player. It might be some stupid colleges who would have called moulvi and Wasim Jaffer has done a mistake he should have complained about that guy who called a moulvi and should not right the chant is not at all communal but it’s related to culture.
A lame attempt at “secularizing” the issue. Mr. Mahim Verma may have abused his authority and therefore may deserve appropriate disciplinary action or punishment.
But the act of inviting a Maulvi/Maulana to the stadium for prayers can never be glossed over. Since when did this become a part of cricket in India?

Whoever was involved in this “initiative” must be held accountable.
