Melbourne: Outgoing Cricket Australia chairman Creagh O’Connor has admitted that downgrading the racism charges against Harbhajan Singh had damaged the administrators’ relationship with the players. “The last Australian summer was the most difficult time in my long career in cricket and the male players ended the year feeling at a distance from the managers of the Australian game,” O’Connor was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press. “I am pleased we have since come together to review how we each managed the summer’s difficult issues and have agreed where we might mutually have done better and how we might mutually do better in future,” he added. CA had convinced the players to downgrade the charges against Harbhajan after India threatened to pull out of the tour after the controversial Test in Sydney. Andrew Symonds, who had made the allegations of racist abuse, is reportedly still upset at not being backed enough by CA during the furore. O’Connor, who will be succeeded by Jack Clark as the new CA chief, said the administrators need to guard against a rift with the players in the changing landscape of international cricket. — PTI
