Even while selecting Kumar soon after his retirement from Delhi Police, there were murmurs within the BCCI that he has been removed abruptly for questioning the non-seriousness of the top officials in fighting corruption in cricket. Kumar had headed the Delhi Police's investigation in to the 2013 IPL spot-fixing case involving S. Sreesanth and other cricketers. Not even once have I been asked what the magnitude of the problem is and what needs to be done.

We would certainly raise all these issues during the next SGM as and when it would be convened."
