After Sreesanth, the former Indian bowler, claimed that Gautam Gambhir had referred to him as a “fixer”, the commissioner of Legends League Cricket (LLC) provided Sreesanth a legal notice.

Sreesanth is accused of breaking his contract in a T20 event in the notice. It says that talks with the pacer won’t start until he takes down any videos that criticise Gambhir. Notwithstanding the incident, Sreesanth’s claims that Gambhir referred to her as a “fixer” were not addressed in the umpires’ report.

The organising committee of LLC had to provide some clarification and gave the statement as they said, “The incident that has been the talk in the cricketing world violates the code of conduct and necessary action will be taken against all that have violated the very clear rules stated by the league’s Code of Conduct and Ethics Committee.”

Syed Kirmaani, Head of the Ethics and Code of Conduct Committee said, “Legends League Cricket strives to uphold the spirit of cricket and sportsmanship and will conduct an internal investigation on the violation of the code of conduct. Any misconduct that has occurred both on and off the field including on social media platforms will be dealt with strictly. The code of conduct has clearly states that necessary action will be taken against players that bring disrepute to the league, the spirit of the game and the teams that they are representing. We make our stand very clear and continue to work towards sharing the game with millions of cricketing lovers across the nation and world.”

“Legends League Cricket aims to continue to be focused on the league” : Statement

The LLC statement further read that, “Unfortunately, this incident that is making the rounds on social media pulls focus if only for a short time away from what has so far been an extremely exciting season so far with national and international legends playing together for their respective teams.”

The statement concluded by saying that, “Legends League Cricket aims to continue to be focused on the league itself and let the ASCU and Code of Conduct & Ethics Committee handle the internal investigation and subsequent action with respect to the involved individual/s that will be held in violation of the code of conduct for their comments including ones made on social media.”
