`Sarfaraz allegations baseless'MUMBAI: BCCI president Raj Singh Dungarpur said today he was disguted by Sarfaraz Nawaz's allegation of matchfixing against a player of Gavaskar's stature. ``Nawaz has always made baseless statements,'' he told Indian Express.
Mr Dungarpur, manager of the Indian team during the Wankhede Test of 1979-80, alleged by Nawaz to be fixed, said: ``I remember India won the toss and were 154 for six. They went on to make 334. The word match-fixing was not in the vocabulary of cricketers then.'' Meanwhile, Gavaskar said here that he was keeping his options of taking legal action against Nawaz open.
