NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India has included Mohammed Shami in Category B of its annual contracts list.

The board had earlier withheld the fast bowler’s name pending investigation into

various allegations made by his wife Hasin Jahan.While the Kolkata Police is investigating criminal charges filed by Jahan against Shami and his family, including attempt to murder, the BCCI had concerned itself with particular allegations pertaining to the provisions of its code of conduct.The Supreme-Court-appo-inted Committee of Administrators (CoA), which is currently supervising the BCCI, had asked the board’s anti-corruption unit to investigate if Shami had collected money sent to him by a UK national through a Pakistani woman in Dubai.“We are only concerned with what the Anti Corruption Unit is investigating, not his (Shami’s) personal life,” Rajiv Shukla, the Indian Premier League chairman, had said on Wednesday at a press conference in Mumbai.
