New Delhi: Former India batsman Atul Bedade has been suspended as the head coach of the Baroda women's cricket team after players accused him of sexual harassment and pubic shaming.
A source within the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) told a leading news agency that action was taken after players complained about his misbehaviour during the Women's Senior One Day tournament in Himachal Pradesh in February 2020.
According to a leading cricket website, the BCA's apex committee will now form a probe committee that will look into the allegations made against Bedade.
The 53-year-old played 13 ODIs for India in 1994 and scored one half century.
He told the same cricket website that the allegations are a "surprise" to him and "baseless and false."
