Sreejesh likely to get a reprieve
PR Sreejesh\'s decision to play in Virat Kohli\'s charity football match might have raised a few eyebrows but India\'s premier hockey goalkeeper might well just get away with a reprieve, at least this time.
Bhubaneswar: PR Sreejesh's decision to play in Virat Kohli's charity football match might have raised a few eyebrows but India's premier hockey goalkeeper might well just get away with a reprieve, at least this time.
Regular captain Sreejesh played a 'Celebrity Clasico' in October this year in Mumbai, featuring the country's top sports and Bollywood stars, including India cricket captain Virat and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
During that period Srejeesh was on a break but what went against him was that he was recuperating from a serious injury that time after being sidelined from the national team following the Azlan Shah Cup in May earlier this year.
There were reports that Sreejesh's action didn't go down well with the team management but he might just get away as Hockey India is yet to initiate any disciplinary action against him.
"Yes, it came to our notice but we didn't initiate any disciplinary action as yet. We are currently busy with the Hockey World League Final and disciplinary meeting has been called," Hockey India CEO Elena Norman, who is also a member of the Disciplinary Committee, told PTI.
Another member of the Disciplinary Committee is completely in the dark. "I am not aware of any Disciplinary Committee meeting. I haven't been told anything by Hockey India as yet. Any progress on this matter will take place,” he said.
