Gavaskar chairs pre-IPL season Captains and Coaches meeting
"Sunil Gavaskar, Interim President, BCCI-IPL, chaired the pre-IPL season Captains & Coaches meeting, on Tuesday, 15 April 2014. He stressed to the captains, the importance of their teams playing the game according to the MCC Spirit of Cricket - Play hard, Play fair," BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement.
"He also addressed their position as role models for followers of the game and other players, as they built their respective careers. He reinforced the core message that integrity was non-negotiable," he said.
During the day, he also met with former and recently retired cricketers - VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble - and sought their views on various issues.
"Sourav Ganguly was unfortunately unavailable, as he was travelling," Patel said.
The cash-rich tournament started on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.
