Statement from Jaydev Unadkat:
I have been misquoted in the media
I want to categorically state that I have been misquoted in the media regarding my comments about my car being broken into and my flat being searched while I was playing for Worcestershire in the English County Cricket Championship, said Unadkat.
I never said that my car was broken into or that my flat was searched. I was simply stating that I had been the victim of a crime and that I was assisting the police with their investigation.
I am disappointed that my comments have been misrepresented in the media. I am fully committed to playing for Worcestershire and I am looking forward to the rest of the season.
Unadkat’s statement comes after a number of media outlets reported that he had said his car had been broken into and his flat had been searched.
