WADA's anti-doping clause requires players to inform the ICC about their exact whereabouts in advance. The code requires players in the testing pool to inform the world cricket governing body through an online form about their whereabouts.

In India, the signing of the code has been delayed as players have objected to the clause.

'We are agreeing with the dope testing code, we are only objecting to the system. The issue is of out-of-competition testing. Our players are ready to be tested but they say they are not in a position to give their whereabouts. We back the players on this,' Manohar said.

'You cannot invade the privacy of individuals. I don't know what the ICC will do. The implications of this decision would be decided after we write to the ICC. Today, it would be jumping the gun,' he added.

The ICC said that it was grateful to the BCCI and its players for giving their time to try and work through the issues relating to the implementation of the ICC Anti-Doping Code.

'The ICC and the BCCI are committed to a zero-tolerance approach to doping in cricket, something reiterated by Shashank Manohar. What both parties are looking for is a practical and mutually acceptable solution to the current situation,' the ICC said.
