Players in breach of Code of Conduct Tendulkar and Yuvraj given seven days to explain comments April 10, 2007 Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh have been given seven days to explain their conduct to the Indian board for having spoken to the media on former coach Greg Chappell. "The notices seeking an explanation were sent yesterday and they have been asked to respond within seven days," a BCCI official told Cricinfo. The two players were issued notices on April 7 asking them to explain their comments to the media which were in violation of the board's Code of Conduct for its players. On April 4 The Times of India published an interview with Tendulkar in which he said that Indian cricketers would be disappointed with Chappell if he questioned their attitude. "I've given my heart and my soul for 17 years," Tendulkar was quoted as saying. "No coach had mentioned even in passing that my attitude was not correct. Cricket has been my life for all these years and will always be. "It's not that we are defending ourselves," he added. "We do realise that we played badly and, as a team, we take full responsibility for that. But what hurt us most is if the coach has questioned our attitude." Yuvraj's comment to a television channel on April 6, that all the players supported Tendulkar, was also deemed a breach of the code. © Cricinfo
