Mumbai, August 02: An emergency meeting between officials of the BCCI and the ICC started on Sunday morning to sort out issues regarding the signing of the WADA Anti-Doping Code.
The Indian cricket board’s all-powerful Working Committee, along with the skipper MS Dhoni, reached the BCCI headquarters here early this morning.
The ICC is being represented by their company lawyer Iain Higgins.
Issues regarding the Code arose when Indian cricketers, including Sachin Tendulkar and Dhoni, refused to sign the much-debated ‘Whereabouts Requirements’ clause of the Code which, claiming it infringes on their privacy.
Top cricketers including Dhoni and Tendulkar have been informed about the emergency Working Committee meeting and told to attend it if they wish to do so, BCCI sources said.
Apart from Dhoni and Tendulkar, other players like Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan are also expected to attend the meeting.
