Former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin is planning to sue Wisden for breach of contract. Azhar, who was one of the 16 nominees for the award, alleged that without assigning any reason, Wisden had told him at the last minute that he was not required at the awards ceremony in London on July 23. "They called me up to say that they had made a mistake and that they would not be sending me the air tickets. There was no explanation for this decision," said the former India captain. Azhar said the contract with Wisden required that he be invited to the presentation ceremony. Wisden, Azhar alleged, did not even apologize for withdrawing the invitation. "You can't treat a person so shabbily. Why did Wisden start the process in the first place? If they had problems then why go through the motions at all? This is humiliating to say the least. And finally, Wisden did not have the courtesy to inform me or write to me why they did not invite me," he said while hinting that some among the other nominees might have worked against him. "It was disgusting. That is all I will say. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth." Azhar was the only living nominee, who was not present at the function though he was reportedly in London on that day. |
