On Wednesday, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) banned journalist Boria Majumdar for two years after its committee found him guilty of intimidating Wriddhiman Saha.
Majumdar allegedly used harsh words at the player on getting denied for an interview. The BCCI had formed a 3 member committee to investigate the case.
"We will be informing all state units of the Indian cricket board to not allow him inside the stadiums. 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," The Indian Express quoted a top BCCI official.
In February, Saha had revealed a screenshot of a chat with a "journalist", showing how Majumdar tried to intimidate him. However, at that time, the cricketer did not disclose the name of the journalist.
