While there were reports on Harmeet's suspension on Saturday, the BCCI denied the move.
"I don't know where this news came from. Today only Harmeet appeared before ACSU chief Ravi Sawani. Sawani will file the report to disciplinary committee and they will suggest the possible action which will be decided in the working committee. As of now, he is not under any suspension," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told TOI on Saturday.
While Siddharth Trivedi was suspended for the alleged breach of IPL Code of Conduct, even though he didn't do anything wrong, the BCCI may not do the same to the young left-armer.
He has already been given the clean chit by the Delhi Police. "Harmeet was called by Ajit Chandila and he didn't know what was happening. As Chandila was senior to him, he went there and he had no intention of doing anything wrong.
It's just that he should have informed the BCCI. He had already played one ICC event and part of IPL where you get to know about what to do and what not when you find somebody suspicious. It's up to the disciplinary committee to decide," another top BCCI official said.
Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA), on the other hand, is continuing with a wait and watch policy. Sources in the VCA said that president Prakash Dixit had already written to Delhi and Mumbai police seeking reports on Harmeet's alleged involvement.
"There's not doubt about his talent but we need to make sure he comes out clean. At the moment, we are not in position to comment anything on the issue.
The matter is now with the BCCI and as an affiliated unit of BCCI, we will wait for their instruction before deciding on anything," a VCA official, who didn't wish to be named, said.
