The controversy surrounding the Eden Gardens pitch and the Dhoni-curator tiff took a new turn on Friday with the BCCI stating that 'Pitch Dr' Prabir Mukherjee faced punishment for his outburst in the media.
Veteran Eden Gardens curator Prabir Mukherjee is in trouble with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over his outburst in the media prior to the commencement of the ongoing third Test between India and England in Kolkata on December 5.
BCCI Vice-President Niranjan Shah on Friday hit out at Mukherjee for what he called a breach of the Board's "code of conduct" and said the curator cannot escape punishment now.
