Row over Shah Rukh

Pn, Mumbai
A day after Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was barred entry to his team's
dressing room, the Indian Premier League (IPL) authorities yesterday issued fresh guidelines which has cleared the deck for the presence of a franchise owner in the team dugout for thel\venty20 matches.
IPL chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi announced that the organisers would issue an all-area accreditation badge to one member of each of the eight team franchisees. following the ejection of Shah Rukh from the dug-out by the Anti Corruption and Security Unit (ASCU) officials of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
While defending the decision of the ACSU officials to ask the film star to vacate the dug-out during the IPL tie against Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, Modi said suitable measures would be taken to avoid a repeat of this incident.
"There have been repons in the media about denial of a team owner access to the dug-out and dressing room. The IPL is conducted as per the rules and regulations of the ICC whose ACSU officials were just doing the job entrusted," Modi said.
"They go strictly by the colour code. A red badge issued by the ACSU, on approval of the team manager, will help theperson holding it access to all areas," he said.
"This is what we intend to do by giving each of the team owners one such badge each. They do have the right to sit with the players in the dug-outs and dressing rooms," Modi told a media conference here.
A separate report from Rajkot adds, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) yesterday said it has no problem with Shah Rukh sitting with his Knight Riders players in the dug-out during the IPL matches but advised the star to followthe ICC guidelines.
Talking to mediapersons here, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said, "Any one can enter players’ dressing room before clearing the necessary procedure and Shah Rukh Khan is not exempted." "He should take permission from IPL's anticorruption officer before entering into the dressingroom," Shah said.
Shah however denied reports that some foreign players have not been given their wages.
Another report from New Delhi adds, the ICC on Monday appeared surprised at film star Shah Rukh's statement that its anti-corruption unit had asked him not to be with the team on the playing field, saying that the IPL tournament was being played under BCCI's rules and regulations.
The ICC said the IPL was a domestic tournament and the game's governing body did not have any role in formulating the rules.
"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," an ICC spokesman told PTI from Dubai.
"Furthermore, the ICC board in its meeting held in Dubai on 17-18 March had decided that IPL will introduce a code of conduct, an anti-corruption code and an anti-doping code that complies with ICC regulations," he said.
The Bollywood megastar and Knight Riders owner Shall Rukh Sunday night expressed disappointment, claiming he had been barred by the ICC anti-corruption unit from going to the team dug out and dressing room in the remaining IPL matches.
"I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. 1 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," Snah Rukh said.
Asked whether Shah Rukh needed an accreditation for the IPL matches, the ICC spokesman said, "Everybody needs an accreditation and these are in line with anticorruption code. BCCI is following anti-corruption code. Now I don't know what modifications they have made to the code."
