The board should take a deep think on this now so it couldn't happen with other players, said Sarandeep Singh to ANI.

This is a very serious thing that he has revealed and now a probe have to sit on this. Cricket is a gentleman's game and this kind of thing, although it's out of the field but very dangerous and it shouldn't be repeated with any other player" added Sarandeep Singh.
