"A decision on any further action against the SSCB will
be taken by the BCCI's Working Committee," the BCCI statement

Jammu and Kashmir players, officials and Abdullah were at
the ground for the match but the Services team was nowhere to
be seen. The forfeiture gave J&K four points and they will now
take on Haryana at the same venue from November 10 to 13.
Angry at the no show, Abdullah, who is also Union
Minister for new and renewable energy, lambasted the Services
team.
"Services have negated what the Prime Minister, the
Defence Minister and the Home Minister have said, that Kashmir
is normal. We have also had ambassadors coming here. This
shows that some vested interests don't want Kashmir to
normalise," Abdullah fumed.
"I will take this up with the government of India. We
were all waiting for the Services. We were here to welcome

not to come. It shows a very bad image of India," he told
reporters here.
"What is the government of India doing?" he thundered.
Abdullah said he would take up the matter at the next
cabinet meeting and also find out who advised the Services
