Symonds gagged
Sydney: Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, at the centre of the racism row that led to the ban of Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, has been gagged by Cricket Australia (CA) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) from commenting on the heated topic in his newspaper column.
Explaining reasons behind not carrying the column, the daily said, “Symonds was gagged by Cricket Australia and threatened with censure by the ICC.”
The Sunday Telegraph was not granted access to him despite Symonds’ contractual arrangement to write a weekly column through the season, the daily wrote.
Interestingly, CA’s media office offered to provide a column written by one of their employees under Symonds’s name, dealing only with matters relating to play and not the “monkey slur” racism crisis, but the daily rejected the offer.
“Our readers do not deserve to be subject to such censorship,” the newspaper said. — Agencies
