“Yes it will be tabled and we will talk about it in detail. Not just players but there are whole lot of other things as well when we deal with conflict of interest,” a BCCI official told Wah cricket.
“The players obviously will be most affected and it will be on the members to decide. We also have the option of referring it back to the Supreme Court as per their recent directions,” the official added.
