Mumbai—Former India captain (and now also the new chairman of the ICC’s cricket committee) Anil Kumble’s suggestion of wiping out tainted players’ record from the record books is not acceptable to the game’s statisticians.
On Sunday, the 43-year-old spinner and the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), in the working committee meeting in Chennai has suggested (via video conference) to delete the records the tainted players, like how, Lance Armstrong’s records have been erased by the world’s governing body, Union Cyclist International) following doping charges against him.
