Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sharad Pawar on Wednesday denied having received a disciplinary report on Virender Sehwag during India's tour of South Africa earlier this year.
On Tuesday, major Indian newspapers and channels had quoted team manager Chetan Desai's tour report, which highlighted a rift between Sehwag and coach Greg Chappell.
The report said that Sehwag had shown a lack of discipline and commitment, citing an instance when the Delhi batsman called Chappell and Frazer for early morning batting practice but did not turn up for it.
"We cannot be reacting to every report in the media," snubbed Pawar, when asked about the incident.
Meanwhile, the BCCI constituted a four-member committee, led by vice-president Shashank Manohar, to hold talks with the government on the ordinance on territorial rights of cricket telecast and resolve the issue.
"Mr Pawar met the Information and Broadcasting minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi to appraise the pros and cons of an ordinance, after which we decided to form the committee," said BCCI media committee chairman Rajeev Shukla at a press conference.
Former Board president I S Bindra, Lalit Modi and N Srinivasan are the other members of the committee.
After the three-hour working committee meeting in Delhi, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah announced the appointment of MP Pandove and central zone selector Sanjay Jagdale as team managers for the World Cup and said that the player contracts would possibly be ready before the team leaves for the mega-event.
"The Indian team will leave for the West Indies on February 28. We hope that the contracts will be ready by then and the BCCI will be in a position to get the players' reaction on the same," Shah added.
