The ICC expressed shock over SRK's statement on barring him from entering the players dressing room and the dug outs. The anti-corruption unit staff stopped him from entering these places and asked him to be away from these areas in the remaining matches.
He was seen in the players dug out in the match against Chennai Super Kings. He said, "I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me," he said. "I don't know the ICC rules. I'll tell only one thing. Nobody dare stop me from coming to Kolkata. I'll be here whenever my team plays a match at the Eden."
The ICC spokesman said in Dubai that, "The reported incident has nothing to do with the ICC as IPL is a domestic tournament which is being held under the Rules and Regulations of the BCCI."
The spokesman also said that a consensus was arrived at to have IPL introduce a code of conduct, an anti-corruption code and an anti-dope code that complies with the ICC regulations.
The CEO of Knight Riders Joy Bhattacharya said the ICC rules were meant to stop bookies entering the players area and is not applicable to domestic tournaments like IPL. He was logical when said that the franchise concept was not there when the rules were formed. So, the rules have to be framed considering these concepts.
Meanwhile, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, asserted that Shah Rukh has to go by ICC rules, even though he felt nothing could really stop the actor from entering the dressing room.
"He should take permission from IPL's anti-corruption officer before entering into the dressing room," Shah said.
