Indian sports presenter Ridhima Pathak has responded to recent reports suggesting she was “dropped” from the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), clarifying on Instagram that the claims are false. She stated, “That is not true. I made a personal decision to opt out. For me, my nation always comes first. I value the game of cricket far beyond any single assignment.”
Pathak further added, “I’ve been privileged to serve this sport for years with honesty, respect, and passion, and that will not change. I will continue to uphold integrity, transparency, and the spirit of the game.” She also expressed gratitude to her supporters: “Thank you to everyone who reached out with support. Your messages mean more than you know. Cricket deserves truth. Period. No further comments from my side.”
