The remarks from the World Cup-winning team came after the aggrieved wrestlers had planned to throw away their medals into the country's sacred Ganga River.
Members of India's 1983 cricket World Cup-winning team on Friday expressed disapproval of the treatment of wrestlers who have accused Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Singh of sexual assault and intimidation. In a statement released to news agency PTI, they also advised the wrestlers against impulsive decisions - a reference to their wanting to throw medals won at prestigious international competitions - into the Ganga. The cricketers expressed hope that the wrestlers' complaints will be acknowledged and resolved.
