ricket training was held in the Ilangovadi government School ground in Mudraiyar Yadav after the ground was closed. Coach Tamaraikkannan is claimed to have engaged in sexual harassment with a 16-year-old girl in class 12 at the time. The victim filed a complaint with the cricket board right away. They have, however, advised the coach not to clash. And it appears that no action has been taken in this regard. The girl filed a complaint with the puducherry Children's Welfare Committee as a result of this.

Coach Tamaraikannan, another coach Jayakumar, cricket association president Damodaran, secretary Venkat, and cricket team captain Rohit were were arrested yesterday under the Pokcho section for allegedly sexually assaulting them.
