The BCCI has banned journalist Boria Majumdar for two years for “threatening and intimidating” Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha. Saha had earlier tweeted a screenshot of the aggressive messages he received from Majumdar.
The ban, which includes not receiving press accreditation for any matches in India, an embargo on interviewing centrally contracted players and no access to board’s and state units’ facilities, has been made effective after the Apex Council approved the three-member fact-finding committee’s recommendations.
