Former India batsman Atul Bedade has been suspended as the head coach of the Baroda women’s team after the players accused him of sexual harassment and public shaming.
A source within the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) said action was taken after the players complained about his misbehaviour during the women’s senior one-day tournament in Himachal Pradesh in February 2020.
According to ESPNCricinfo, the BCA’s apex committee will now form a probe committee that will look into the allegations made against Bedade.
‘Baseless and false’
The 53-year-old, who played 13 ODIs for India in 1994 and scored one half-century, said the allegations were a “surprise” to him, and “baseless and false.”
