Former Indian Women’s Cricket Team Coach Tushar Arothe has been arrested in Vadodara in connection with IPL betting. Arothe, along with 18 other persons, was reportedly apprehended on Tuesday evening.
“We arrested Tushar Arothe along with 18 other persons during a raid at a cafe. Their phones&vehicles have been seized.” JS Jadeja, DCP Crime Branch, Vadodara was quoted as saying by ANI.
Arothe was appointed as the coach of the Indian women’s team in 2017 after a previous stint as the India women fielding coach and head coach between 2008 and 2012.
However, Arothe was removed after guiding the team to the World Cup final. This was after the BCCI received complaints from senior players, especially Twenty20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, about his training methods.
Reflecting on his sack, Arothe had expressed dismay and said, “If students start deciding on the syllabus and course curriculum when there is a teacher, I don’t think it’s a great thing. Similarly, if you start removing coaches merely on the basis of allegations from the players, then you are setting a bad precedent.”
“There was someone before me (Purnima Rau), who was removed as players didn’t want her. Now they don’t like my style. Tomorrow, a new person will come and they might find him/her to be unsuitable. So if only one side is having a problem what does it tell you,” Arothe was quoted as saying by PTI.
