"It's not me but the entire Bengal cricket fraternity is feeling bad about it. I have nothing against Manoj. It is not a great example set (by Tiwary) for youngsters," he added. As it became embarrassing for Gandhi, the Cricket Association Bengal (CAB) spelled out the sequence of the incident, asserting that Gandhi did not breach any protocol. "Mr. Devang Gandhi being a national selector, wanted to enter the dressing room area today when the game was not in play. He was allowed to enter the PMOA (Player and match officials area) as a temporary visitor by the ACU Official only after obtaining necessary permission from the Match Referee.

"However, when Gandhi wanted to get some medical treatment done and the same was informed to the ACU Officer, he was instantly asked by the ACU officer to get the same done a the medical room outside the PMOA area in order to maintain the required protocols. Accordingly, Mr. Gandhi moved to the medical room to ensure there is no breach," the statement added. According to sources, the matter will be reported to BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Tiwary may be hauled up. Play was held up twice due to bad light in the first session with a partial solar eclipse as Bengal's first innings folded for 289.
