TNPL CEO demands evidence as the ball tampering line explodes
Meanwhile, TNPL CEO Prasanna Kannan has taken swift action on ball tampering claims, and he is now demanding solid evidence from the Madurai franchise to support their allegations.
He said that if there is a truth, an independent committee would be formed, but Madurai could face action for false claims if they did not provide evidence to prove their claims against Dindiguru.
Prasanna Kannan said on the Indian Express that “they filed a complaint, but we agreed. They must file a complaint within 24 hours of the game, but we still asked them to accept it and provide evidence of their claim.
If they find out that their allegations are true, we form an independent committee. Without sufficient evidence, it is wrong to present such claims against a player and another franchise. If they do not provide evidence, Madurai faces legitimate sanctions. ”
