Apparently, Kohli had requested the board to not put any restraint on the duration of the stay of cricketers’ wives.
The Supreme Court-appointed COA disclosed that the committee is not going to take any immediate decision on the request and is likely to wait until a new set of office-bearers are appointed in the near future.
“Yes he (Virat) had requested, but we are not going to take any decision soon. We have said that we will leave it to the new office bearers. The policy will not change now,” said the COA sources to news agency ANI.
