Chappell denies
MUMBAI, April 13: Former India coach Greg Chappell dismissed reports in the media on Friday that he had feared for his life following the team's defeat to Bangladesh in the World Cup.
The former Australia captain resigned from his post last week in the wake of the team's first-round exit in the Caribbean and returned home at the weekend.
Australian newspaper Herald Sun reported on Friday that the 58-year-old had “feared for his safety after India's loss to Bangladesh at the World Cup – and the murder of Pakistan counterpart Bob Woolmer – but said he still loved cricket.
“I never made that statement and nor did I feel that my life was in danger at any time during my stay in India,” Chappell said in a statement released through the Indian cricket board on Friday.—Reuters
