India's leading cricketers, including master batsman Sachin Tendulkar and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, are reluctant to sign the much-debated 'Whereabouts Requirements' clause of the Code which, they claim, infringes on their privacy.
Top cricketers including Dhoni and Tendulkar have been informed about the emergency Working Committee meeting and told to attend it if they wish to do so, BCCI sources said.
"Apart from Dhoni and Tendulkar the invitations have also been sent to Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan. But we have come to know that Zaheer is out of the country and Tendulkar also may not be available as he is out of town.
Anyway these players have sent their views to the Board on the subject," BCCI sources said. The sources also said that ICC's lawyer Iain Higgins will be coming to Mumbai tonight and he wants to meet the players to explain the details of the Code and try to remove their apprehensions.
But Higgins will not be attending the Working Committee meeting, they said.
