INDIAN CRICKETER
Punishment on English Tour PENALTY TOO DRASTIC Bombay, November 17. It is understood that an investigatory committee, appointed by the Indian Cricket Board of Control, found that the action of the captain and the manager against Amar Nath on the English tour was too drastic, affecting the morale of the whole team. Nevertheless Amar Nathiwas not exonerated, although it was recommended that he should be allowed to play in international matches if he apologises to the Indian Board of Control. The committee expressed the view that, the captain, the Maharajah of Vizianagram, was unsuccessful on the field, though a success socially. In future the captain should be selected solely for his cricketing ability. The Indian Cricket Board appointed the Chief Justice, Sir John Beaumont, Sirdar Sikander Hyatkhan, former Governor of the Punjab, and Dr. Subbaroyan. president of the Cricket Association Board as a committee to inquire into the circumstances in which Amar Nath was sent home during the Indian team's tour of England this year. Amar Nath was sent home in June .or alleged bad behaviour, and the manager, Major Brittain Jones, and the captain later refused to reinstate him, although they had agreed to do so on certain conditions.
