Thakur said that the Standard Operating Procedure will be followed just like it was done when Virat Kohli had abused a journalist of a leading national daily in Perth during World Cup, earlier this year.
"We will look into the details of Team Director (Shastri) allegedly confronting curator of Wankhede Stadium yesterday. We had done the same in (sic) Australia (without referring to incident of apparently Kohli and Indian journo). Same yardstick will be applied," Thakur told reporters yesterday.
The curator, who has also been Zaheer Khan's coach, then reported the matter to the Mumbai Cricket Association.
Thakur also said that 'Conflict of Interest' issue of the BCCI officials will be discussed at BCCI's AGM here on November 9.
"Conflict of Interest issue will be discussed at Annual General Meeting on November 9. We have already circulated to all associations a letter to come back with their suggestions. About two new teams you will know after AGM. We are still deciding on how many players from suspended teams can be retained by the new teams," the secretary said.
