The BCCI's stand is in a fix after Sachin Tendulkar played alongside ICL 'rebel' Dinesh Mongia for Lashings club.

Sachin played alongside 'rebel' player Dinesh Mongia for Lashings World XI in two matches last month where both of them opened for Lashings against St Bede's School Headmasters XI at the school ground in Essex on June 27. While Tendulkar sizzled with an 84-ball knock of 98, Mongia hit 72 off 41 balls, according to the club website.

In the previous match on June 24 Tendulkar batted at number two and the left-handed Team India discard Mongia came in at number three, making 32 and 66 respectively against Eastbourne College XI at the latter's ground.

Mongia has aligned with the rebel Indian Cricket League and plays for their Chandigarh Lions side. Interestingly, Mumbai left-arm spinner Nilesh Kulkarni was also part of the Lashings' squad which also contained another 'rebel' New Zealand's Chris Harris who plays for Hyderabad Heroes.

BCCI had earlier this month barred Piyush Chawla and VVS Laxman from signing up to play for English counties with the presence of ICL players in their ranks.

The BCCI has maintained right through that it would have no relations with ICL and they have also banned players who have taken part in the Essel Group rolled rival league that took off much before the Board's own and highly successful Indian Premier League.
