Police is doing their job. We will find out whether the person (Mishra) concerned is responsible for the crime or not. When we get the exact details, then only a decision will be made," Shukla told reporters, here yesterday.

Complying with a summon issued by the Bengaluru police last week after he was booked for the charges based on the complaint by the woman, Mishra, who was given seven days time, appeared before them. Days after the matter came to light, the woman had said she had decided in principle to withdraw her complaint but did not do so.

The 32-year-old bowler is part of the Indian Test squad for first two matches against the visiting South Africans and Shukla feels the case will have no bearing on his being selected in the playing XI if the team management decides. "Unless BCCI takes a decision, selectors can pick him.

The question (of eligibility) arises only when BCCI takes a decision," said Shukla. Meanwhile on the issue of Ravi Shastri allegedly abusing Wankhede curator Sudhir Naik, Shukla said that BCCI has taken cognizance of the matter and a decision will only be taken after ascertaining the facts. Shukla also claimed that BCCI
never orders any curator to "doctor pitches".
