New Delhi. Roger Binny, the current chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, has distanced himself from the members of the 1983 World Cup-winning team over the ongoing wrestlers’ protest.

He also said that the matter is under consideration of the authorities and sports should not be mixed with politics.
Binny said during an interaction with ANI, ‘Contrary to some media reports, I would like to clarify that I have not issued any statement regarding the current situation of the wrestlers’ protest. I believe the competent authorities are working to resolve the issue. As a former cricketer, I believe that sports should not be mixed with politics.

Talking about Brij Bhushan Singh, Azad said, ‘When more than half a dozen girls have accused him, he should have been arrested immediately under the POCSO Act.’
