Speaking to Lokmat Times, Faiz Fazal – who led Vidarbha to title triumphs in two Ranji in addition to two Irani Trophy, stated, “It’s very shocking. I have played four seasons with him. He is just like a big brother to every Vidarbha player. He is true gentleman. I have never found anything wrong in his conduct of behaviour with each player.”

Vidarbha glovesman Akshay Wadkar stated: “Jaffer has always given first priority to the deserving players and the performances. I don’t think he will select the players on religion basis. In fact he equally treated each player when he was playing with us. Such allegations are shocking for us,” Wadkar added.
