Mumbai, April 10 : Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh were yesterday slapped with notices for talking to the media and have been asked by the Board to explain their conduct within seven days, a board source said today.

The two were pulled up by the board’s working committee for commenting on former coach Greg Chappell because this was in violation of the board’s Code of Conduct for its cricketers. The show-cause notice has been issued under Rule 38 of the Memorandum and the Rules and Regulations of the BCCI.

Tendulkar was recently quoted as saying that he was deeply hurt by Chappell’s questioning of the senior players’ attitude. He took full responsibility for the poor show in World Cup but said he was more hurt by the coach’s allegations.

Yuvraj, on the other hand, incurred BCCI’s wrath after saying that the team was backing Tendulkar on this issue.

There was more trouble for Tendulkar, following a report by a television channel that he had cut a cake in the colours of the national flag during the Indian team’s stay in the West Indies last month.

A television channel showed a photograph of Tendulkar with a knife about to cut the cake in the presence of Indian High Commissioner to Jamaica K L Agrawal. Reacting to the television report, the Board said the incident should not be blown out of proportion as Tendulkar was a person who would never show any disrespect to the national flag.

‘Captain is the boss’

Ravi Shastri, manager-cum-coach of the Bangladesh-bound India squad has declared that the captain of the team is the “boss”. “Captain is the boss and that is how it should be,” he said in a telephone interview from Singapore. Shastri said that there was no need for a batting coach now and that he would use his knowledge to help the team in whichever way. (PTI)
