To investigate a senior journalist's alleged threat to Wriddhiman Saha, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has created a three-member committee.

While Saha initially refused to name the journalist in a series of tweets on February 23, it seems he is now willing to expose the scribe's identity and given his consent for an investigation.

"The three-member committee comprises of BCCI Vice-President Mr Rajiv Shukla, BCCI Treasurer Mr Arun Singh Dhumal and BCCI Apex Council Member Mr Prabhtej Singh Bhatia. The committee will start the proceedings as early as next week," BCCI said in a statement.
