Mumbai, Aug 13 - The Indian cricket board is planning to take legal advice from Attorney General Goolam Vahanvati and former chief justice of India A.S. Anand on the controversial 'whereabouts' clause of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code.

'We have asked for legal advice from both Goolam Vahanvati and former chief justice A.S. Anand on the legal aspects of the 'whereabouts' clause of the WADA,' Rajiv Shukla, vice-president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said here after a working committee meeting Thursday.

The BCCI has rejected the controversial anti-doping clause of the WADA that makes it mandatory for players to make themselves available for out of competition tests.

Eleven Indian cricketers, including captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, have opposed the clause and have already missed the July 31 deadline to sign the Code.
