He won’t be given media accreditation for home matches and we will also be writing to ICC to blacklist him. Players will be asked not to engage with him,” a BCCI official told Indian Express. The three-member committee was set up by the BCCI in February earlier this year after Saha alleged receiving threats and intimidation by a “respected” journalist. In his Twitter post on 19 February, Saha said: “After all of my contributions to Indian cricket… this is what I face from a so-called ‘Respected’ journalist! This is where journalism has gone.”
