Dilip Vengsarkar to personally investigate ugly spat between Prithvi Shaw and Musheer Khan: 'If something is found...'

Shaw and Musheer, however, could be in trouble if any wrongdoing is suspected or if either player is found to have crossed the line. None other than the 'Colonel' of Indian cricket, Dilip Vengsarkar, has been brought in to investigate the matter. Known for his no-nonsense approach during his tenure as chairman of the BCCI selection committee, Vengsarkar is viewed as the ideal person to handle the situation, which involves two exceptionally talented yet occasionally hot-headed youngsters.

“There will be a [Mumbai Ranji team] selection committee meeting on Thursday, so we will ask them - the Mumbai captain, coach and the player - about what happened. We will be getting a report [of this incident] during our selection committee meeting, and former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar, who is our Advisor, will speak to them [players],” Mumbai Cricket Association secretary Abhay Hadap told mid-day.

A similar approach is being taken up by the Maharashtra Cricket Association

"I'm still awaiting the report [on the incident]. I will be obtaining detailed information [about the incident] and if something is found, depending on the gravity of the situation and considering the importance of discipline, we will speak to both the players [Shaw and Musheer]. Discipline among players is a very important aspect," Adv Kamlesh Pisal, secretary of the Maharashtra Cricket Association, told mid-day.
