Indian cricket coach Greg Chappell, his support staff and chief selector Kiran More are likely to be asked not to wear the BCCI crest.

Acting on a complaint from batting legend and National Cricket Academy chairman, Sunil Gavaskar, who had said ‘‘the sanctity of the crest was being lowered by non-playing officials strutting around in team colours’’, the cricket board (BCCI) is now planning to get a different logo designed for Chappell and Co.

The matter will now be discussed in the board’s working committee meeting at CCI in Mumbai on Sunday. ‘‘We have already listed it in the 13-point agenda,’’ BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah told TOI on Saturday.

BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi said, “We have taken the matter seriously and subject to the working committee approval, we will introduce a separate BCCI logo for non-players associated with the team.” Another matter likely to take up time is the ICC Champions Trophy to be hosted by India in October at CCI, Jaipur, Mohali and Ahmedabad.
