The Meghalaya State Commission for Women issues an order on June 26 that imposes a lifetime ban on the head coach and manager of Meghalaya’s U-23 women’s cricket team in connection with a sexual harassment complaint. The Commission also seeks disciplinary action against Meghalaya Cricket Association officials, citing alleged failure to address or act on the complaints. Separately, reporting says the Meghalaya Cricket Association confirms the ban and suspends an honorary secretary for not taking action over the matter. Times of India adds that BCCI secretary Saikia confirms knowledge of the Meghalaya Cricket Association’s decision to ban the coach and manager, and refers to the Commission’s finding of “inappropriate conduct.” Across coverage, the central point is that the ban and related disciplinary measures follow the Commission’s ruling and are linked to complaints about the coach and manager’s behaviour toward the team. The cases also involve internal association action against officials connected to the response to the complaint.
