The Indian cricket administration is awaiting the report of its Vigilance Commissioner, K Madhavan in connection with the controversial Ahmedabad Test match in 1999, when India did not enforce the follow on against New Zealand, despite being in a position to do so. AC Muthiah, President, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told pressmen in Chennai on Sunday night that Madhavan had completed his inquiry with batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar in this connection. Muthiah said Tendulkar was the third person to be questioned by Madhavan, who has been asked by the BCCI to probe into the controversial Test match. "But the officer has not completed hiq investigation yet," Muthiah said. According to Muthiah, Madhavan is to question two more persons before submitting his report to the Board. He said that Madhavan's report would be placed before the next Working Committee for a decision. Tendulkar, who was examined as a witness only by Madhavan before he left for Zimbabwe along with the Indian team, was leading the team in the controversial Test. The CBI also conducted a probe into the match during its investigations into the betting and match fixing scandal. Earlier, Madhavan had said that he would be submitting his report to the Board by this month end after examining another person. © PTI
