While the report doesn't name anybody in particular while questioning such links, Dhoni last year found himself courting controversy when it emerged that he had a stake in Rhiti Sports. The company also manages Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Pragyan Ojha, besides the Indian captain.
The firm subsequently clarified that Dhoni was a shareholder for only a brief period and currently had no stake in the company. The report also criticized Dhoni's official position as a vice-president in India Cements, saying such hirings should be "avoided".
Mudgal also suggested that "player agents should not be allowed to travel with the team or stay in the same hotel as the team, especially when it is in proximity to the date of a match being played by a player who the agent represents".
Further, the report added, "Players should not be allowed be allowed to own any stakes or interests in player agencies or companies involved with cricket unless such interests are in the nature of sponsorship or endorsements. Such interest should be declared by the player or his agent to the BCCI, within 15 days of such interest accruing."
The report added that BCCI should have a system of registering player agents. "Before registering player agents there should be an examination of the agents to confirm their understanding of the rules and regulations of BCCI and IPL. Besides this the antecedents of the player agent should also be verified so that dubious elements of society with links to bookies or the underworld are not given a registration as a player agent," the report said.
