We can't allow WADA to intrude into our privacy: Yuvraj

The Indian cricketers are at loggerheads with the International cricket council over signing an anti-doping code that says each player will have to reveal their whereabouts for one hour every day for over a time period.

Players feel that this is a violation of their privacy.

Speaking to NDTV, India batsman Yuvraj Singh said that they will sit down with the BCCI to outline the problems but they don't want to undergo these tests, particularly when they're not playing cricket.

"Indian players can not allow WADA to intrude into their privacy" Yuvraj said during a promotional event.

The BCCI Working Committee will meet in Mumbai on Sunday to sort out the vexed issue. Top cricketers including skipper MS Dhoni and Sachin 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.

Earlier on Friday, the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA) had demanded that either ICC penalise Indian players, who missed the deadline to submit the WADA anti-doping form because of its 'whereabout clause', or withdraw the code.

Yuvraj responded that it was unfair for FICA to say Indian players should be penalised. Few countries have signed does not mean all have to do so.
