The good doctor told reporters thathe would be submitting his assessment report to the BCCI in the nexttwo days.”I thought it is better to talk to the bowlers and assess them at theMRF, so that when they appear for the fitness test in Mumbai onSeptember 22, they could be judged once again,” Dr Joshi told thePress Trust of India. “We do not want to rush things up, especiallywhen the team is scheduled leave for South Africa on September 24.”Dr Joshi told the agency that he planned to take a particularly closelook at the trio of Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra all ofwhom were to be assessed “subjectively and objectively”.On Monday, Kumble bowled for 45 minutes before Dr Joshi and DennisLillee. Dr Joshi found that Kumble seemed fine except for a”slight stiffness in his shoulders when he bowls.”Kumble, meanwhile, was convinced that he was in top shape. “I am fineand raring to go. I have not been experiencing any problem. I havebowled over 125 overs in three major domestic tournaments during thelast two months.”Nehra and Zaheer will be put through the drills on Tuesday.* Court admits Jadeja’s writThe Delhi High Court on Monday admitted Ajay Jadeja’s writ challenginghis five-year ban from all cricket-related activities after dismissingthe BCCI’s objection on the maintainability of the writ.The BCCI had prayed that Jadeja’s civil writ under Article 226 againstit was not maintainable as it was not a state body but a society.Justice Mukul Mudgal though dismissed the BCCI’s objection.”When the Government lets a body like BCCI assume the prerogative ofbeing a sole representative of India for cricket by permitting it tochoose the team for appearance in events like world cup, then itnecessarily imbues the Board with public function… so far as theregulation of the game is concerned,” the court was reported as sayingby the PTI.Justice Mudgal added that he will decide on November 19 whether “thecourt should interfere in the facts of the present case, is to bedecided in light of the tests laid down by the Supreme Court on writjurisdiction”.Jadeja has challenged the five-year ban and the Ministry of Sportsdemand for a reply on why his Arjuna Award should not be withdrawn.
