Sehwag assured of selection fairness in DDCA by Jaitley
NEW DELHI: The crucial meeting between Virender Sehwag and DDCA president Arun Jaitley would finally put an end to players' revolt against DDCA
after Jaitley assured Sehwag of selection fairness in DDCA.
A news channel reported via sources that Virender Sehwag met the Delhi and District Cricket Association President Arun Jaitley on Sunday regarding players' revolt and the conflict between both the parties seems to have been resolved.
The channel reported that Jaitley also promised Sehwag that there will be fair and performance-based selection and the role of the dubious sports committee will also be reviewed.
Sehwag, who has triggered a virtual players' revolt against DDCA administrators, has threatened to quit the Delhi Ranji team in protest against alleged nepotism and corruption in the DDCA's sports committee but has been told to keep his decision on hold till the meeting with Jaitley.
The star Indian opener has received support from his senior Delhi teammates like Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma and Ashish Nehra, who have also threatened to play for some other state in the upcoming domestic season if their grievances were not addressed. Former Delhi players have also backed the revolting cricketers.
