The controversy began after the Siechem Madurai Panthers alleged that the Ravichandran Ashwin's Dindigul Dragons used towels "treated with chemicals" to tamper with the ball during their Tamil Nadu Premier League match on June 14 at the Salem Cricket Foundation Ground.
The Madurai franchise has withdrawn its complaint from the TNPL after being asked to follow procedural steps for initiating a formal enquiry. The decision was made in the larger interest of the sport and the smooth conduct of the tournament.
“They have further clarified that the intention behind the complaint was not to bring disrepute to Mr. R. Ashwin, captain of the Dindigul Dragons, the Dindigul Dragons team, the match officials, the TNPL, or the TNCA,” he added.
