Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has recently made a shocking disclosure and after his revelations, county team Durham has said that, 'He is in favor of this former fast bowler regarding the allegations of physical harassment leveled against their head coach James Franklin. Will talk to the bowler personally. In fact, in the podcast of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) earlier this year, Chahal recalled the incident of 2011. The time when his Mumbai Indians (MI) teammate Franklin and Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds had reportedly tied him up while celebrating victory in the Champions League final that year.
At the same time, according to SPNcricinfo, Durham said in a statement, 'We are aware of recent reports related to a 2011 incident, in which a member of our coaching staff has been named.' In addition, he said, 'Any matter related to our employee, the club will speak privately to the parties concerned to find out the facts.' Let us also tell all of you that Chahal had also alleged that, 'These two had closed his mouth with tape and left him alone in the room for the night. Franklin was a part of Mumbai Indians from 2011 to 2013. He was appointed coach of Durham in early 2019. Yes, Chahal had said, 'This is the incident of 2011 when Mumbai Indians won the Champions League, we were in Chennai. He (Symonds) drank too much 'fruit juice'. He said, 'I don't know what he was thinking, but he and James Franklin tied my hands and feet together and said, 'Now you open it. He was so intoxicated that he tapered my mouth and completely forgot about me during the party.'
With this, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also said that, 'He left from there. In the morning someone came to clean the room and he saw me. He called some others and freed me.'
